Climate change is reshaping bird populations across the UK, with some of our most familiar and vulnerable species under increasing pressure. That’s the latest assessment from the RSPB and British Trust for Ornithology’s (BTO) Climate Change and UK Birds report, which confirms that it’s driving major shifts for our birds.

This includes where species live, how common they are, and the timing of key life events like breeding and migration. Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns and more frequent extreme weather events are accelerating these changes. As a result, some of the UK’s most vulnerable birds are already declining.
