November Challenge 2024

🐦 Log 30 species

📍 Anywhere

This November, embrace the changing season and challenge yourself to log 30 bird species. From crisp morning outings to peaceful afternoon strolls, each bird adds to your growing list. With migration in full swing, who knows what feathered travelers you’ll encounter? The race to 30 species is on!

This month's bird is the Bearded Reedling, also known as the Bearded Tit, is a small, round bird with striking features and some unique habits! Found mainly in the reed beds of Europe and Asia, this bird has a distinctive “moustache” rather than a beard, which only the males sport. Bearded Reedlings are incredibly flexible; in summer, they eat insects, but in winter, they opt for a diet of seed. They’re also pretty acrobatic, often seen hanging upside down from reeds as they forage!

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.
