Happy in the gutter
09th April 2019
Being one of my favourite species of LBJ (little, brown, jobs)I was delighted to read that House Sparrows are back on the increase and were the top recorded garden bird species in 2018 Big Garden Birdwatch.
Having been woken up by House Sparrows each morning, way back, in my school days, I have missed their cheerful chatter and constant conversation for far too long.
Now having moved to an older property and in an area where the roofs have more traditional tiles, I am now thrilled to be surrounded by these chirpy, little characters. They thrive in large social communities and are gregarious in nature so if you spot one rest assured there are another dozen close by.
In between hauling nesting materials under the lining of the roof tiles they sit in the guttering either basking in the sunshine or being in collaborative company of others. As the recent activity suggests there could be a few more on their way soon!
