West Berkshire and north Hampshire schools encouraged to join in Big Schools’ Birdwatch 2022

January is the start of a new term and the opportunity to take part in the RSPB's schools birdwatching event.

The RSPB Big Schools' Birdwatch runs from the January 5 to February 21 and children of all ages are encouraged to join in.

To take part, you just need to register your school to receive a pack with all the resources you need to learn more about our feathered friends.

If you're taking part you are also asked to start counting the different species of birds in your school grounds.

The pack includes ID resources, survey sheets and everything you need to know to get your Wild Challenge award.

Then you are asked to submit your results online so that they can be fed into the biggest survey of bird wildlife.

Join in the fight against the loss of biodiversity and register your school for the Big Schools' Birdwatch
