Whether it’s a quick morning walk or an afternoon in the park, these five days could be the start of a healthier, happier you.

ZEISS has been helping people explore nature and see its true colours for decades - from intrepid Antarctic explorers to casual weekend birders. Now it’s your turn to thrive. By taking the time to connect with birds, you’ll build healthy habits and discover the joy of birdwatching in a way that’s fun, inspiring, and easy to achieve.

💡 It’s not about winning – it’s about thriving! Everyone who completes the challenge is entered into the prize draw for a chance to win a pair of ZEISS Conquest HDX binoculars. So, step outside, and let’s get birding!

Head out, head up and see how many days you can spend birding in January. You just need to log 5 days within Europe to complete the challenge.

This challenge is for anyone with a Birda account.

This challenge starts and ends based on the UK's GMT time zone. All sightings must be logged before midnight on the day the challenge ends.

Be honest with yourself and other birders, but above all, respectful of them and any other outdoor users, everywhere – especially online. If you didn’t see it (or hear it), please don’t put it on Birda.
