The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has recently released the results of its annual Big Garden Birdwatch survey. The survey, which encourages the public to spend an hour counting every species of bird that lands in their back garden, received a nationwide response, and the results were broken down by county, including Greater London.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the survey, the house sparrow tops the list of most sighted birds in London. The bird is a symbol of the Cockney east end, but its numbers have plummeted in central London in recent years. However, the bird seems to be faring better in the gardens of suburbia. The other birds that made it to the top ten list in London include Blue tit, Wood Pigeon, Starling, Feral pigeon, Magpie, Great tit, Robin, Ring-necked parakeet, and Carrion crow.<\/span><\/p>\n

While all these birds can be sighted all over London, they tend to flock in large numbers in areas such as Richmond and the south-west. The survey results also show that London differs a bit from the national picture. The top ten garden birds across England include the blackbird, which is in the 7th place but lacks the magpie, which is down in 11th. The wider country’s top ten also features the goldfinch in place of London’s carrion crow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the survey may not be rigorously scientific, it provides a useful overview of what’s going on in our gardens. The RSPB’s Chief Executive, Beccy Speight, pointed out the importance of gardens in letting nature back in, “Our fields, farms, and towns need help to let nature back in, and gardens provide the perfect place for us as individuals to start. Providing food, shelter, and water for wildlife, not using chemicals and not using peat-based compost, what we do in our own backyard can make a huge difference. All of us making small changes can effect huge change.”<\/span><\/p>\n
