The UK's wild bird population fell by 1.9% in 2011, with total numbers down by 13.7% since 1977. There has been significant variation between species and habitat groups, with specialist species seeing marked declines.
Almost all broad species groups saw population declines over the last decade, with only woodland birds showing an increase between 2001 and 2011.
Bird population data was compiled in conjunction with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC).
