Summary
Description
Overall breeding bird populations in the UK have changed little compared with 40 years ago. In 2010 they were 4.4 per cent higher than they were in 1970, following a small decline of 1.3 per cent in the most recent five years, from 2004 to 2009. However there has been considerable variation between individual bird species and groups of species that share the same broad habitats.
