Overview
- Participants spend 30 minutes recording every species they see and submit their counts to Vogelbescherming online.
- People without a garden can take part from a balcony or by watching a visible stretch of street from a window.
- Biologists recommend putting out bird food to increase sightings, and only birds that land should be counted while heard‑only calls or flyovers are excluded.
- On-the-ground reports include an Emmen participant noting regular visitors plus a fieldfare from Scandinavia and a goldfinch.
- The house sparrow was the most counted species last year, and aggregated results from this weekend will be released after submissions are processed.
