I represent an urban constituency. We are doing our bit in terms of putting in swift boxes and so on, but do the witnesses have any other advice for us? It seems that our urban environment is often very diverse and rich in flora with all the gardens we have. Is there anything the witnesses would recommend to householders in urban areas? What can we do? Strangely enough, the urban bird population is probably the least threatened because it is probably the most stable and diverse environment, but is there more we could do in an urban context to restore bird populations?
