In January, over 600,000 people across the UK counted the feathered friends in their garden, local green space or on their balcony for the Big Garden Birdwatch. The annual event is the UK’s largest citizen science wildlife survey and is important in helping us understand how garden birds are faring.

This year, for the 21st year running, the number one spotted species was the Red-listed House Sparrow! In second place was the Blue Tit and in third was the Starling. Thank you for taking part. Find out more: read the full Big Garden Birdwatch 2024 results.
