Overview
- The nationwide citizen-science survey runs January 9–11, with organizers noting that current snow and freezing conditions could boost feeder sightings.
- Participants observe for one hour in gardens, parks or from windows and record the highest number of each species seen at one time.
- Results are to be submitted online via Nabu’s website or the Vogelwelt app by January 19.
- Recent counts recorded millions of birds from more than 100,000 sites, with house sparrows most frequently observed and notable blackbird declines that Nabu linked to the Usutu virus.
- Local groups are staging guided activities, including an LBV Munich group count in the Englischer Garten on January 9 that requires advance online registration.
