The results of this year’s RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch have been revealed with more than 7.5 million sightings across the UK over the weekend of January 26 to 28.

In East Sussex, the top three most common garden visitors were house sparrows, blue tits and starlings.

House sparrows showed an 8.4 per cent increase across East Sussex gardens this year, keeping them at the top of the charts for the county.

UK house sparrow numbers, reported by participants since the Big Garden Birdwatch began, have fallen by 56 per cent, but in recent years, national numbers have slowly started to rise again, giving conservationists hope that at least a partial recovery may be happening.
