Update: Competition now closed - the lucky winner was cumbrian_goodlife via instagram. Thanks to everybody for their entries, it made for really quite emotional reading.
The Big Garden Birdwatch is back this month and it couldn't have come at a better time. Not that we need a reason to spend an hour enjoying the wildlife on our doorstep, but!
In celebration of the Birdwatch we're giving you the chance to win a beautiful Green&Blue Birdball seed feeder for you, and one for a friend, yay!
There are three ways to enter.
1. Look for our Birdwatch competition post on our instagram page. Follow the instructions there.
2. Look for the competition post on our facebook and follow the instructions there.
3. Leave a comment on this blog post and tell us who you'd love to go birdwatching with right now.
Enter via all 3 and increase your chances!
The Big Garden Birdwatch competition closes on Sunday 24th January at midnight and we'll choose a winner on Monday - we're hoping to get your feeder to you and your friend before the Birdwatch begins!
Our decision is final, no cash alternative, competition is not endorsed by instagram or facebook.
The Big Garden Birdwatch takes place from the 29th to the 31st January and you can choose any hour within these dates to complete your count. All you have to do is then count the birds within your garden during this time and afterwards submit your results to the RSPB.
The Birdwatch is one of the largest citizen science projects in existence and gives vital data to help understand the challenges faced by our wildlife species. It's also a brilliant reason to spend some time in your garden or balcony (restrictions this year mean that you have to stay pretty close to home), to enjoy the wildlife on your doorstep and to maybe even be inspired to think of ways to encourage even more species for next year!

I would like to go bird watching with Bill Bailey. Not only would I learn a lot from him but his comedic commentary would no doubt keep me laughing all the way, and let’s face it we all need to be laughing more at the moment.
I would love to go bird watching with my family who I miss a lot!
I’d love to visit my Dad in Perranporth who I have not seen since August and go bird watching with him. He has so many in his garden and I still haven’t managed to see the Cornish Choughs up Perran Sands with him.
I would love to go birdwatching with my brother in law Simon Butler, who I haven’t seen for 15 months because of shielding. He knows a lot about bird life and I’m sure he would love to have a Green and Blue feeder
I would love to be able to go bird watching with my 6 year old grandson. We have always loved being in the garden and countryside looking at wildlife but of course this year has been very different. It would great for him to show me the new ducks and swans on the local pond even if I didn’t get to see them as chicks this year.
