My RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2024 Results

I entered my results for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) 'citizen scientist' Big Garden Birdwatch 2024. Their criterion of recording the maximum number of a species actually landed in my garden at any one time, over the observation hour, was used. I recorded 1 Woodpigeon (Columba palumbus); 1 Blue tit (Parus caeruleus); 1 Blackbird (Turdus merula); 6 Starling (Sternus vulgaris) and 13 House sparrows (Passer domesticus). Both species diversity and bird numbers were unimpressive for a large garden with bird feeders.
