Excellent news! Although I don't have much experience to go by I did think that I was seeing a very good number of young birds in my garden and in the local area, Whitethroats, House Sparrows and Starlings seemed to be especially prolific here - and most welcome they have been too!

It's nice to finally read a newspaper article with a science theme that actually mentions the methodology, and has a good stab at describing the results accurately rather than the usual newspaper trick of announcing a discovery that wasn't there!

Generally good news, populations changing as always but no mention of our breeding seabirds, did they fare better this year?

Cheers G

I think it was a relatively good year for most breeding seabirds in the North Sea. Not so sure about elsewhere.

Some good news finally! Out of curiosity what are the best weather conditions for British birds?
