House sparrow is the top bird

The results of the Big Garden Birdwatch are out. Once again, the house sparrow tops the league table both in Wales and in UK as a whole. A surprise for me was the second place for the starling, which I hardly ever see round here. I can only assume that many respondents had lawns, which are happy hunting-grounds for starlings, probing for leather-jackets. Less surprisingly, the jackdaw comes in at no. 10 on the Welsh list, but further down on the one for the UK.

The Welsh results are on a pdf here.
