RSPB warn that garden birds are declining in Wales

Categories: Organic news from other websites

Some of Wales’s most threatened birds are continuing to decline, according to the charity RSPB.

More than 30,000 people across Wales helped gather sightings of bird species for the charity in January.

The results show some of the most threatened “red-list” birds are continuing to drop in numbers.

Starlings had hit an all time low in 2012 – and that position worsened in 2013, with numbers dropping by 15%.
