Vinalssergio155 - thank you!

I am depressed by the fact that many birds in Europe and Africa (those I know a little about) are on the decrease generally, so I was surprised to see the increase in these birds. They have a huge and healthy population.

I was even more surprised as they favour nests in oaks trees - and the latter are dwindling. But at the fact they are increasing is good - urban adaptation maybe?

You can check out bird status on the various Red Lists - these exist for continents and countries.

Here is the recognised European Red List

BirdLife Data Zone

And one for the UK

And one for the USA - try the US Wildlife Site...
