RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2024: Your pictures
- Published
This photo of a Robin was captured by Jon Lo in Guildford
The RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend is the world's biggest wildlife citizen science project.
Half a million people take part - either in their gardens if they are lucky enough to have one, from their windows or in nearby public spaces.
The charity says the survey gives vital insights into the UK's bird population.
Many of our most familiar species have seen steep declines over the survey's 45-year history, including sparrows, starlings and greenfinches.
But it is not all bad news. Goldfinches, woodpigeons and parakeets are all thriving.
The RSPB is urging as many people as possible to get involved this weekend. Here's how.
Here are some of our favourites from you so far.
Libi Harrison took this shot of a male mandarin duck, left, and a male mallard in Surrey
Tom White captured this Green Woodpecker in Kent
Rachel Crick took this picture of a European Goldfinch in Hertfordshire
Mark Randles took this photo of a Sparrowhawk, from his home in Southport
Susie Ottley took this photo of a cormorant by the river Wey in Surrey
Jon Lo took this photo of a Blue Tit in Guildford
Julian John snapped this Great Spotted Woodpecker from the kitchen window of his home in Herefordshire
Brian Hartnell photographed a Sparrowhawk pinning a Collared Dove to the ground in his garden in Swansea, and said the dove escaped its clutches soon afterwards
