A total of 41,630 people across Scotland have taken part in this year’s bird survey organised by the RSPB.
Despite taking place on the same weekend as Storm Eowyn an impressive 748,392 birds were spotted at the annual Big Garden Birdwatch.
A welcome sight when looking out the kitchen window, these are the birds that add life and colour to our outdoor spaces.
Many of us like to help out our feathered friends - particularly over the winter months - by supplying food in feeders and on bird tables, and shelter in the form of bird boxes.
In return they help to keep plant-destroying caterpillars and aphids in check.
Here are the 13 most common avian garden visitors in Scotland - according to the recently-released figures.

9. Great Tit
Originally a woodland specialist, large numbers of great tits now visit Scottish gardens. It has a huge geographical range - extending across the whole of Europe, east to Japan and south to Indonesia. It is also found in North Africa. | Canva/Getty Images

10. Feral pigeon
Often known as 'street pigeons', these are the pigeons you'll see in the centre of cities - happily feeding on whatever humans leave behind. They are venturing into gardens more as time goes on, which has seen them climb (fly?) into the top 10. They are descended from rock doves escaped from human captivity. | Canva/Getty Images

11. Magpie
Another feathered success stiry, it's estimated that magpie numbers have more than quadrupled over the last 35 years - particularly in urban areas. Their diet often contains large amount of roadkill from city streets. Don't forget to salute! | Canva/Getty Images

12. Coal Tit
Another breed of bird that has successfully made the move from a woodland environment to gardens is the coal tit. An average of just over one of these birds was found in each garden surveyed. | Canva/Getty Images
