stash Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Plus a bird that will be on the endangered species at the rate is disappearing - the humble sparrow. They were prolific years ago. May not be as colourful (OK there not colourful at all) but have there place - mainly food for Sparrowhawk's (not true actual). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fondofchips Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Nice pictures, all these birds are in decline, the Greenfinch along with the Chaffinch were clobbered by a virus that appeared in 2005 & was spread by pigeons. We have been on holiday to Ireland recently & there are a lot more Starlings there were there are smaller fields & farms, plus mature trees in the hedgerows for them to nest in. The sparrow seems to be suffering from a lack suitable nesting places & trees etc for cover, they need somewhere to get away from the Sparrowhawk! Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Harry.
