We’d like to hear from people in the UK about how their local bird populations are faring, and what they mean to them

We’d like to find out about your experience of wild native birds where you live and whether there have been any changes over time.

Do you notice the same number of birds or less? What type of birds do you come into contact with? How has the soundscape changed? Do you ever use apps like Merlin to identify birds?
