Garden birds are feeling chirpy because of the mild winter

The mild winter was good news for smaller garden birds, according to the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch. Over half a million people took part in the birdwatching event in January, with the house sparrow being the most spotted bird and sightings of the long-tailed tit increasing by 44% to land it in the top ten for the first time in seven years. We hear from Martin Fowlie from the RSPB.
