Mistle thrushes 'missing' from UK gardens [View all]
http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/21143664
Mistle thrushes are becoming a rare sight in UK gardens
Mistle thrushes have disappeared from UK gardens at a "staggering" rate, according to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
Results from the charity's annual survey suggest the birds are seen in fewer than half the number of gardens they were 10 years ago.
Population estimates published at the end of last year confirm there are now just 170,000 breeding pairs.
The warning comes on the eve of the RSPB's annual Big Garden Birdwatch.
