The Wild Card
Let Nature Surprise You.
Join Wild Card and get matched each month with a different endangered bird species from across the UK.
How it works
Make your Monthly Donation
Support the protection of overlooked UK bird species by joining the Wild Card community with a monthly donation.
Meet Your Match
Each month, you'll be randomly matched with a priority bird species: quirky, little-known, or critically endangered, plus explainers on why they matter.
Follow their Story
Receive seasonal updates, sightings, and conservation progress tied to your wild cards species.
Grow Your Wild Deck
Build a digital card collection of the species you've supported, a visual record of the species you're helping protect.
Could this be your wild card?
Discover the Birds You Didn’t Know You Loved
Each month, The Wild Card introduces you to a different UK bird, but it’s more than just fun facts.
Your support helps fund the RSPB’s vital work protecting the habitats and ecosystems birds depend on, from wetlands to woodlands, and from coastal cliffs to city skies.
What you learn will surprise you. What you’re helping protect is even bigger: biodiversity, climate resilience, and a future where wildlife has a fighting chance.
