Chart captions

Outcome

Six captions rewritten. Two drops under 5% now read as changes, not declines.

Plus 1 proposed

Do the captions on charts 2 and 5 hold up?

Chart 2 does. Chart 5 says blackbirds declined in Weir Park, but the drop is 3%, which is inside one survey window of last year. Plain counts read better here: 41 pairs, down from 42.

Can you rewrite chart 5 so a volunteer would read it the same way we do?

Blackbirds held steady in Weir Park this spring, with 41 pairs counted against 42 in 2019. That is short, gives both counts and keeps the comparison to the 2019 baseline.

Should we make this a rule for the whole report?

That would help. I can propose it as a memory: say decline only for drops above 5%. It would stay in this project and wait for your review before any answer uses it.
