Tree Sparrow and Baby

I have become used to Tree Sparrows joining the House Sparrows during the Winter and I had noticed the odd one about for a few weeks recently. It came as quite a surprise when one turned up with a youngster:

  2. What beautiful photos John! You really are very privileged to see them in your garden and especially so to see them feeding their young, so very special :-) Lovely to see them on video too.

    I read that their population in the UK has declined by a horrifying 93% in the last 40 years or so!!

    1. Jan: With the tearing up of field hedges and felling of so many trees it's not surprising that they are scarcer now. Nice to see the local one adapting to visit gardens locally.

Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Any comment, or correction to any information or identification I get wrong, is most welcome. John
