How many of these can you say you've spotted in your garden?
House sparrows remain top of the flock in Northern Ireland but the household favourite has suffered ‘startling’ declines says RSPB.
RSPB Area Manager, Claire Barnett, said: “With so many people sending in their sightings over the weekend from across Northern Ireland, the Big Garden Birdwatch really helps paint a picture of how our garden birds are faring. Findings of the RSPB’s 44th Big Garden Birdwatch come just as Sir David Attenborough says “we must act now” to Save Our Wild Isles; joining forces with the National Trust, WWF and RSPB to sound an urgent SOS for nature.
Meanwhile, Greenfinches and Chaffinches have been badly affected by the disease Trichomonosis, causing respective declines in their populations of 34% and 65% in the last decade.
