Big Garden Birdwatch 2025: The Results Are In!
A Record-Breaking Effort
This year, over 590,000 nature lovers came together to take part in the world’s largest garden wildlife survey, counting an astonishing 9.1 million birds over one January weekend. That’s a huge boost for citizen science and a powerful satement of public support for the UK’s wildlife.
Since the Birdwatch began in 1979, participants have spent a collective 12.6 million hours watching and recording garden birds. That’s a phenomenal amount of time spent connecting with nature - and it’s helping to shape the way we protect our precious wildlife.
The Top 10 Garden Birds in 2025
Let’s take a look at the UK-wide leaderboard to see who soared and who slipped this year:
Once again, the House Sparrow claimed the top spot, maintaining its reign as the most spotted garden bird in the UK. Blue Tits and Woodpigeons held strong in second and third place respectively, with Woodpigeons nudging up a spot from last year.
Notably, Starlings saw a slight dip in rank, dropping one place to fourth. But it’s still encouraging to see such a vibrant mix of species making regular appearances in our gardens.
