House sparrows flocking back to British gardens, survey shows

RSPB's Big Garden Watch finds numbers rising, along with coal tits, wrens and long-tailed tits

As well as a rise in house sparrows, the milder winter also brought long-tailed tits, wrens and coal tits to British gardens in huge numbers this year.
