What's your most common local bird?
In the UK I guess it's probably the Chaffinch, but in my area of Cheshire the most common local bird is probably the Starling. 40-50 of them whenever I look out of the window, and hundreds during August and September when they come and take berries from the nearby trees.
So what's your most common local bird? Given that this is going out to people around the world, the results should be fairly interesting.  |

Aah the American Robin, we had a very rare visit from one over here in the UK 2 or 3 years ago, people came from all over the country to see it, unfortunatly a Sparrow hawk got it, oh well that's nature. |

It used to be Sparrows and Starlings over here in Grimsby NE lincolnshire UK
but over the last few years there has been a startling reduction in their numbers, I would say I see more Blackbirds than anything now. (even though they are territorial)

Hi Stuart, I'me a Cheshireman too, well I was until they changed the Wirral to Merseyside. Unlike yourself I do not have any Starlings at my feeding station. The most frequent bird is the Goldfinch whose here every day throughout the year. After travelling around the country, the most frequent bird seen is, I think, the Wood Pigeon.
