With
results from so many gardens, the RSPB are able to create a ‘snapshot’ of bird numbers in each
part of the UK. This is important because their previous surveys have shown
that some of our birds are disappearing.
We’ve
lost more than half our house sparrows and some three quarters of our
starlings. And previous results have helped highlight these dramatic declines.However,
it isn't all doom and gloom - these surveys help the RSPB spot problems, but more
importantly, they are also the first step in putting things right.
My
wife, Rowena, conducted her observations this morning and recorded, robins, sparrows,
blackbirds, a starling, gulls and a blue tit in our front garden.
The
RSPB look forward to finding out what you've seen.
