Dont think its an Illusion
I moved to London 6 years ago from Devon and in the 5 years I lived there I saw a wider varity of wildlife then I ever saw growing up in the country.
It completely amazed me, I mean you talking about a densely populated area, with very little green space, Thousands of Buildings, cars and people and Pollution.
But thats why you see more, in the country most animals, Birds etc are lucky enough to still be able to live in their natural Habitat and mostly remain out of sight of most people.
In Londons and other built up areas, their habitat has mostly been destroyed and they have had to adapt and learn to live alongside us, Thus it means they are easy to see on a daily basis.
While this is nice for people to able to see all these animals, Birds etc.. It brings home how muchof their natural habitat we have destroyed in a very short time, and continue to destroy at an alarming rate.
