What is the Red List?

Some of the birds you'll be helping

The UK Red List for birds keeps track of how different species are doing, and any birds that are rated red are in need of urgent action. Shockingly, one in four of our birds is now on that list, 67 species in total. It shows that many of our top singers are in trouble, iconic crooners like nightingales, skylarks and cuckoos. But more familiar garden species are red-listed too, birds like starlings, song thrushes and house sparrows. But those 67 species are not beyond hope. With your support, we can turn their fortunes around.
