We've noticed a distinct increase, especially in sparrows and starlings. There has most definitely not been a decrease in seagulls

Tits apart from blue seem down on our feeders & Finch’s. More common woodpeckers though.

We’ve also discovered an owl living in an open shed full of crap which is cool so hope they stay.

I've not noticed a shortage of seagulls, they still come flocking when I throw leftovers out for them

That’s because they’re all in my neighbours garden!

I opened my back door yesterday and there were shitloads of them flying about trying to get her bird food.

"Dont know about anyone else, but I never see Robins anymore."

When I lived out in the sticks one managed to get into ma living room, took me about 2 hours to get the pesky little blighter out

I live in the City centre now and there's always Blackbirds, Wagtails, Owls and Chaffinches about, I wonder if they just go with the flow as it were and make the best of a bad situation

Certain "songbirds" have been decreasing in numbers for quite some time..the reason thought to be too much tidyness in private land and gardens and an unfortunate increase in the scavenger/ predatory birds such as magpies. National Trust researched this with RSPB when I contracted to them a decade ago. They reduced the burning of debris and brash going more over to the stacking. Its the decrease in insect population thats affecting the bird population.

Abundance of everything round here, ploughing a field the other day and someone counted 23 buzzards , they even walked across the field to tell me. I told them it wasn’t uncommon, they couldn’t believe it as that was more than they had seen in their entire life.
