With all our outings and talks cancelled for the foreseeable future why not take part in this fun event from the safety of your own home. Open to everyone, wherever you are. This is an event in which all the family can take part and is a great opportunity to look at the birds around you, brush up on your bird identification skills and maybe learn to identify new ones. As well as having the honour and glory of being The Great Stay-At-Home Birdwatching Challenge Champion or Champions you might win a prize!

The idea is that each bird species seen and positively identified, in or from the home/garden, is recorded on the entry form, note book or sheet of paper.The entry with the most species at the end of the week wins.
The competition begins on Saturday next April 4th at 9am and runs until Saturday April 11th at 7pm. Email us your list of species seen (or a photo of your completed form) to info@birdwatchcork.com, closing date 7pm on Sunday April 12th. Also let us know if you are a member or non-member of BirdWatch Ireland.
