House Sparrow Passer domesticus 2 of 2 photos

Having expressed sadness at the absence in my garden of House Sparrows in a previous recent post, I am delighted to report that they are back. The population crash towards the end of the twentieth century is not fully understood and although they are still classed as widespread many people in my area say they no longer have them in their gardens. Although their sound is described by some as 'monotonous' , how pleasing it has been to see them again and hear their cheerful chirping.
