    Tree sparrows were featured on Springwatch last night ... 🤔think it was last night. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Apparently the decline was something like 90% or more, in a forty year period from the 70s.  :/
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    That might well be a tree sparrow.  :)

    The suspect tree sparrow has just obliged to give me a photo while sharing a fat ball with a starling  :)

    No - that's a house sparrow. The grey on the top of the head is a giveaway.
    Tree sparrows have a quite distinctive chestnut cap - no grey on it.
