European Garden Birds

Q: Where is the best place to see European Garden Birds?

Manchester. In Manchester, United Kingdom, the chance of seeing all 5 (blackbird, great tit, blue tit, robin and magpie) on the same day is about 40%, the highest of the 72 places where all of them live, and over a three-day visit it rises to over 90%. Next come Birmingham (about 30% a day), Cologne (about 30% a day) and Essen (about 30% a day). It multiplies each animal's daily chance, as if they were independent, so read it as a rough guide.

Q: Which of European Garden Birds is hardest to see?

Great tit. In Manchester, the best place for European Garden Birds, about about 80% of wildlife watchers report the great tit on a given day, against about 90% for the magpie. The hardest one decides how many days you need.

Where is the best place to see European Garden Birds?

Manchester

In Manchester, United Kingdom, the chance of seeing all 5 (blackbird, great tit, blue tit, robin and magpie) on the same day is about 40%, the highest of the 72 places where all of them live, and over a three-day visit it rises to over 90%. Next come Birmingham (about 30% a day), Cologne (about 30% a day) and Essen (about 30% a day). It multiplies each animal's daily chance, as if they were independent, so read it as a rough guide.

Which of European Garden Birds is hardest to see?

Great tit

In Manchester, the best place for European Garden Birds, about about 80% of wildlife watchers report the great tit on a given day, against about 90% for the magpie. The hardest one decides how many days you need.
