|Garden BirdWatch is an ongoing BTO survey which anyone with a
garden can become involved in. All you do is count the birds in
your garden every week, and then every three months send your
results to the BTO. More information can be found on the BTO I
started doing the Garden Birdwatch in January 2001. As you can
see from the results below, House Sparrows and Starlings are my
most regular visitors. However as both these species have
declined in the last few years, even information about them is
important. As can be seen from the following tables, numbers of
House Sparrows and Starlings were both down in 2002 compared
with the previous year. This may be part of the national trend,
although numbers of both species seem to be stable in the area
around my house. Sightings of other birds such as Blackbird and
Collared Dove have also reduced, whereas Great Tit and Chaffinch
have increased. The following table is a summary of my records
for 2002. The following table is a summary of my records for
2001. Last updated
