Popular for Big Garden Birdwatch

In close collaboration with renowned ornithological organisations and nature conservation experts, we have made significant progress in researching migratory behaviour, nesting habits and population development.

These findings form the basis for targeted conservation measures to support endangered species and preserve habitats. We also use our platform to raise awareness of the importance of bird diversity.

As Europe's largest supporter of bird counting, we are proud to be a driving force in protecting our feathered friends. Our vision goes far beyond simply counting – we strive for sustainable coexistence between humans and birds and work tirelessly to preserve these fascinating creatures.

"Our tips for birdwatching"

Set up a feeding station

Bird feeders stand out as one of the easiest places to observe birds. To attract a diverse range of species, consider offering various types of food and bird feeders Utilize a feeding column for tits and sparrows, a feeding table for ground feeders like blackbirds and robins and provide fat-based products for starlings.

Get the kids involved

Whether with friends or family, birdwatching is a lovely activity to enjoy together. Children, in particular, can be introduced to nature in a playful manner, helping them become familiar with different bird species. To enhance their interest, consider building bird houses or nest boxes together.

Use tools

Distinguishing between a house sparrow and a tree sparrow can be challenging. Books or bird apps can help with clearly identifying species, and binoculars help capture details and plumage more vividly. Our Tringa binoculars series, designed for beginners, offers sharp images at an affordable price.

Hang up nest boxes

Nest boxes and bird houses contribute to birds' well-being throughout the year, serving as nesting places in spring and summer and offering protection and shelter in winter. Even outside the breeding season, you might spot birds flying in and out of the nest box.

Give Garden Birds a Home - Preparing for Nest Box Week

Which birds frequent your outdoor space? Is there a particular feathered friend you've been eager to spot? And do you provide them with a suitable habitat?

After exploring the diverse world of birds and identifying population trends through the Big Garden Birdwatch, we are now shifting our focus to the living conditions of our garden birds. The bird count not only showcased the diversity of species but also underscored the significance of suitable habitats for birds. This brings us to the forefront of Nest Box Week, where we address the decline in natural nesting sites and explore ways to compensate for this shortage.

During Nest Box Week, we will provide tips on how to hang up nest boxes, offer insights into which bird prefers which nest box, and introduce you to various materials used for crafting these essential homes. Join us on this exciting journey as we contribute to promoting bird conservation. We are looking forward to Nest Box Week!
