LOCAL EXTINCTIONS. “The number of birds which have declined so much as to be locally extinct…1967-2011, the turtle dove declined in Britain by 95%, the grey partridge by 91%, the spotted flycatcher by 88%, the yellow wagtail by 73%…the tree sparrow by 95%; and so it goes on. In most of the country, they’ve simply vanished.”
