Campus Bird Count 2025

The Outcome

Uploading your lists to your campus’s ‘hotspot‘ will automatically generate a comprehensive list of all species reported from there. (For example, the Wildlife Institute of India is a campus hotspot). In addition, you will be able to calculate the relative commonness of different species on your campus, based on the frequency of observation.

If you are interested

If your campus is open or if you live on campus, then consider registering (registrations closed) so that we can include your campus in our list of registered campuses. 

Here are some tips on organising a bird walk on your campus.

Step 1: Decide where you can conduct a bird walk on your campus.

Step 2: Organise at least one bird walk on any of the four days, 14–17 February, 2025.

Step 3: Announce or publicise your walk in your campus so others in the campus can join you. Fill the campus bird count registration form so that others can also see your campus participating.

Step 4: Watch birds and count birds for at least 15 minutes or more. Upload your sightings through the eBird Mobile App. Share your checklist with the participants using their eBird UserID.

• If your participants are beginning bird enthusiasts and new to bird identification, request that they download the Merlin Bird ID App and install the India Bird Pack.
• If your participants have already experienced watching birds and want to record numbers of birds, request that they use the eBird Mobile App to record their sightings.

Pro Tip: You may even call out for volunteer birders who can help you conduct the walk. If you need any help or have queries, reach out to your GBBC State Coordinator
