The 30 most common birds in Lincolnshire gardens

I find it very hard to accept that Buzzard is on the list. The count is only for birds that are perched in your garden not seen from it. Strange if enough people have had a buzzard sat there to make it even as number 30. If anything I would expect a Sparrowhawk to be the only raptor appearing there/

THE most common garden bird in Lincolnshire is the house sparrow.
