Birds in urban areas

Discover birdlife on your doorstep

Birds are not only found in woods, fields, meadows and mountains. Many species also dwell in the heart of cities and towns. As a rule, the more diverse the environment, the greater the number of species. Where large, mature trees, permeable surfaces, or even city parks and gardens with native trees, shrubs and wildflower patches are present, the number of bird species increases significantly.
