A post on another question just made me think of this.
Why do you never see dead birds (apart from the remains of those ravaged by hungry cats)?
Surely the sight of a of bird that's popped it's cloggs mid flight should be common but I don't think I've ever seen a dead bird....

2011 results:
House sparrows retained top spot for the eighth year running, with an average of four seen per garden.
Starlings and blackbirds swapped positions on the 2011 leader board, with starlings now at number two and blackbirds at number three.
Starling sightings increased by a quarter since 2010, but their numbers are still down from when Big Garden Birdwatch began in 1979.
