A huge thank you to everyone who took part in Big Garden Birdwatch 2024. Over 600,000 of you took part across the UK, but what did we find out?
Every year, people take part in the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch by counting the birds they see in their patch. Now in its 45th year, the Birdwatch provides a fascinating snapshot of how garden birds are faring.
The Birdwatch began in 1979, when children’s TV programme Blue Peter asked viewers to post in their sightings. Much has changed since the 70s. But what has changed for our birds? Which birds have moved up the charts and which have moved down?
Celebrating its 21st year at the top of the Big Garden Birdwatch charts is the House Sparrow. These chirpy little characters were the most commonly sighted birds, with 1,442,300 counted over the Birdwatch weekend.
Sit back and enjoy our short film in which we reveal the Big Garden Birdwatch results 2024. How does the UK’s top ten compare to what you saw in your Birdwatch?
