This spring, Swarovski Optik challenges you to sharpen your bird identification skills with the Master the Moment Challenge. The goal is simple: log 10 bird species—but here’s the twist. Challenge yourself to identify birds you find tricky. Whether it's warblers that all look the same or speedy birds that rarely sit still, this is your chance to improve your skills and see nature more clearly.

Complete the challenge and you’ll earn a digital finisher’s badge, plus a chance to win a pair of NL Pure 8x32 binoculars worth over £2000!

Swarovski Optik has always been about seeing the unseen. The NL Pure 8x32 binoculars are cutting-edge optics designed to enhance your bird ID experience. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced birder, this challenge is about pushing your skills and mastering the moment.

This challenge is for anyone with a Birda account. This challenge is for tickable species only. You can read more about tickable species here.

This challenge starts and ends based on the GMT time zone. All individual species logged globally will count towards this challenge and will be included in any leaderboard placement. 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.
