RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch - results from RSPB

The RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch took place in January, and the RSPB have recently released the collated data from across the UK.  Derek T compared the ten most commonly reported species from our own Abington survey, with those most commonly reported across England.

Interestingly there are a number of differences, mostly relating to Abington's relatively rural location.  The low number of sightings for House Sparrow and Starling in the Abingtons is striking, and the higher position of both Woodpigeon and Jackdaw in Abington perhaps indicates the relatively close proximity to farmland. 

Thanks to all who took part in the BGBW earlier in the year, and to Derek for collating the results.
