With Big Garden Birdwatch coming soon, who wouldn't be delighted to have these visitors to their feeders?

If you're not familiar with them, they are tree sparrows. Numbers of these pretty birds plummeted by 95 per cent between 1970 and 1999, so we're working hard to give them a helping hand. You might be lucky enough to see them in your garden if you put out seed for the birds, though also keep an eye out for their close relatives, house sparrows.

Head over to RSPB Images to see lots more gorgeous photos like this one from Tony Hamblin.
