00:21:58 Global Big Day
The Global Big Day is on 14th May 2022 and once again The Casual Birder Podcast has entered a Team to take part. I would love you to be part of it!
We will all be birding in our own locations, and sharing our checklists to the team account giving us a combined total of species for the team.
You do not have to be an expert to take part, and you can bird from your back garden if you wish.
There will be exclusive team events in the run-up to the Big Day so sign up now!
