Content:  RSPB organises bird record data collection in annual collective birdwatching days in Britain. RSPB claims this is the "world's biggest wildlife survey" and helps that society to gain a better knowledge on bird population trends in Britain. That activity was launched in 1979 as an activity for children, although from 2001 it is a survey open to adults too. In 2011, over 600,000 people took part, only 37% of whom were RSPB members.
