The Birding Big Day (BBD) is an annual, nation-wide citizen science event where teams compete to identify and log the highest number of bird species within a 24-hour period, aiming to promote conservation and gather data on South Africa’s avian biodiversity.
Categories
You can participate in one of two categories:
50 km Radius Category
The rules for this category are:
The maximum area that can be visited is an area within a radius of 50 km.
Please note this a RADIUS of 50 km – so from boundary to boundary it is 100 km.
Teams registering for this category will automatically be entered into provincial challenges (this will not be the case for the 6 km radius category).
6 km Radius Category
The rules for this category are:
The maximum area that can be visited is an area within a radius of 6 km.
Note this is a RADIUS of 6 km – from boundary to boundary the distance is 12 km.
Teams registering in this category will not be automatically entered into provincial challenges. Please email [email protected] if you want your team to be entered into a provincial challenge. Indicate clearly which provincial challenge.
