The Early Bird Challenge
1 April 2026 - 30 April 2026
73 UK bird species are under threat
We’re now at risk of losing 73 bird species in the UK, including Puffins, Swifts and Curlews.
You can help endangered birds overcome the challenges to their survival. How? By taking on a challenge of your own this spring…
Rise to our new Early Bird Challenge and raise funds for the RSPB
This spring, we’re challenging you to get outside early, discover nature on your doorstep and walk or run a sponsored 73km for our 73 most endangered birds.
No more gloomy news stories first thing. No more screentime over your morning coffee. Get out early and take on 73km over 30 mornings, and raise funds to protect the UK's most vulnerable birds.
