RSPB says successful breeding season
and kind weather could see many species faring well in this year’s Big Garden

Blue tits, great tits,
greenfinches and chaffinches are set to bounce back into British gardens this
winter after a successful breeding season and “relatively kind” conditions.
More than half a million people
are expected to spend an hour this weekend spotting birds and other wildlife in
the 39th year of the Big Garden Birdwatch, the world’s biggest wildlife survey.
The RSPB is predicting
a bumper year for colourful finches and members of the tit family, including
long-tailed tits, after disease and wet weather caused a population slump.
“This year could be a bumper
weekend of sightings for some of our resident British birds,” said Daniel
Hayhow, RSPB conservation scientist. “So keep your eyes peeled for the
greenfinches, chaffinches and various tit species.”
