Fewer starlings than ever have been spotted by participants in the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch, raising fears for their numbers.

The bird conservation charity is urging Britain’s gardeners to keep their lawns wild by not cutting them too often, and to avoid the use of pesticides, which reduce the number of insects to eat and can poison birds.

Sparrows remained top of the chart of birds seen by the 600,000 people in the UK who took part in the survey, followed by the blue tit and the wood pigeon. The starling fell to fourth for the first time since the annual survey started in 1979.
