i live in merseyside and ther most i have seen on one thermal is 11 birds going from about 200ft upto about 800ft.commons are moving more and more into towns same as the other birds u have spoken about .as long as there is carrean for them and worms ect you will get them ,just look how pere's have adapted to town life and are breeding fine so no reason for commons to do the same
