Bird Race 2025 list

2 February 2025

The final Bird Race update for 2025.

The Bird Race 2025 has come to an end! Despite sometimes feeling chained to their desks, Team Office managed to get the win at 86 species seen. Team Warden and Team Placement came in at 81 and 69, respectively.

The prize? Gloating rights.

The real reward though? Knowing that with a little perseverance (and a spot of luck), there is always something to see.
