A Full BTO Garden BirdWatch Year

At last! I have now completed a full year of garden observations for the BTO Garden BirdWatch survey. Click on the picture to see the full-sized version.

The first column shows the species, the second shows how many times the species was recorded out of 52 weeks and the last column shows the reporting rate percentage.

i.e House Sparrows were recorded every week of the year so the reporting rate is 100%

Feral Pigeon, Goldcrest (two visits in one week), Nuthatch and Tree Sparrow all come in joint last place with one record each - 2%.

Click the pics. The charts are screen grabs from my BTO online membership.

"Common Species"


"Scarcer Species"

Yeah, definitely. I'm fully paid up and ready to go! Shouldn't be long before the numbers start to increase again.
