Mild winter boosts small bird numbers

The mild winter has boosted the number of small birds spotted in the annual RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch.

Almost 3,700 people in County Durham took part in the 41st annual count held over the last weekend in January with the house sparrow (male and female pictured) the most common sighting followed by the starling and blue tit.

The RSPB said there was also an increase in the number of long-tailed tits, wrens, and coal tits in people's gardens.

Daniel Hayhow, RSPB Conservation Scientist, said: “Small birds suffer during long, cold winters but the warmer January weather this year appears to have given species such as the wren and long-tailed tit a boost."
