Global Bird Weekend is back; this time around, more people will be participating in making this even better than the last. This new concept event encourages beginners and experienced naturalists to get out birdwatching and submit their sightings.
Global Bird Weekend 2022
GBW is a unique event; no matter where you are, you can be a citizen scientist and collect essential data about the birds around you. If birds are spotted, they could be around your housing area, a park or a wetland.
You can also participate as a team or as an individual, go out birding on the 7, 8 and 9 October 2022 and enjoy nature. Report what you see and hear on eBird; your observations will help scientists better understand global bird populations.
Follow Global Birding’s Facebook Page community to be inspired to enjoy our natural world and help raise funds for global bird conservation.
