Patchwork Challenge 2025!

This year's Patchwork Challenge is up and running! We will be running monthly updates on here, and an overview of last years competition will be coming soon too. If you haven't signed up already, then you can do so by following this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rQvYe7lP2G-zrVqyb43jN0tTmGQ28Ouf4OZMX0XGAF0/edit?usp=sharing - if you have any issues with getting set up or have any questions or even anything we can improve on, then don't hesitate to get in touch via email. 

There are so many benefits to patch birding. There is a great feeling of reward at watching your local patch, this by either noticing the first summer migrants of the year, getting good counts or by finding something locally good. There is no better feeling than finding something good on your patch, after hours of hard work and when that is finally paid off there is an immense feeling of excitement and joy.  Also, why not make your birding on patch this year count towards local bird records, by using either Birdtrack or eBird, or submitting them directly to your local county recorder. Every record counts to them!

Best of luck, we hope that 2025 is a busy birding year for everyone! Watch this space for more updates soon!
