The five most popular birds counted on Scotland’s farms have been revealed following a charity’s annual bird count.

The 2024 Big Farmland Bird Count (BFBC), carried out by the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT), saw nearly 395,000 birds spotted across 1,721 surveys UK-wide.

It is the first and only UK-wide citizen science project to involve land managers in monitoring the state of farmland birds, according to GWCT.
