Bengaluru: The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) will return this month between February 13 and 16, said Bird Count India, the consortium of over 70 birding and conservation organisations.

The GBBC includes Campus Bird Count, a sister event unique to India where students will take part in monitoring and recording birds.

Students can watch birds anywhere in campus for at least 15 minutes during February 13-16, identify all birds seen or heard and share the sightings using the eBird app. For guidance support & queries, visit birdcount.in/counts/gbbc/.

Last year, 270 campuses took part in exercise & uploaded 8,000 bird lists. Campus communities nationwide are again taking the lead in documenting birds.
