Count the Garden Birds: Join Forces with NABU and LBV this May!
Observing the Active Hours of Aviary Creatures - "Bird Census in the Garden Hour" - Counting Garden Birds' Numbers
Get ready to keep an eye out for those feathery friends fluttering around your yards – the Nature Conservation Union Germany (NABU) and the Bavarian Nature Conservation Association LBV need your help! From May 9th to 11th, the "Hour of Garden Birds" is back, and they're counting on enthusiastic nature lovers like you to help track the population of common birds.
Delve into the worlds of blue tits, finches, robins, and sparrows (and maybe even the "Bird of the Year" 2025 - the redstart!). Biologist Angelika Nelson from LBV says that the redstarts have returned from their winter hideouts and are on the hunt for insects, so keep your eyes peeled!
To participate, all you have to do is spend an hour between the counting dates observing birds near your doorstep. Take note of the highest number of each bird species you spot during that one hour, then submit your findings via the internet, mobile app, or by snail mail. By joining this citizen science project, you'll be contributing to valuable insights about current bird population trends that supplement official data.
Curious about the specific bird species and other participation details? Visit the NABU or the LBV official websites or reach out to their teams for up-to-the-minute information on the "Hour of Garden Birds" event. Happy birdwatching, and let's make a positive impact on our fine-feathered friends!
