Just been looking over the recent new Red List for the UK and fitting it into what we have (or have not now) in the Barnsley recording area.
We have 28 species breeding but some struggling in the area but a few such as Tree Sparrow, House Sparrow and Willow Tit are holding their own if localised in some parts.
4 species appear to be now extinct - Turtle Dove, Hawfinch, Twite and Corn Bunting. Probably Whinchat may be the next to go?
On the positive side a number of Schedule 1 and Amber List species doing quite well!!
