2010

The small group at Crabtree Wharf is still very much active, and extremely vocal. I can sometimes hear them all the way from Rannoch Road when I approach that way.
This is their bush, covered with snow on Wednesday 13 January at about 8 am (the day had only just started and it was still rather dark).

Sparrows' bush in the snow

For once, some of them emerged at the top:
Sparrow in the snow

Some of them went on to the London Plane above and started eating the seeds.

I have started creating a map with all the locations. It's not quite finished yet, and there are a lot of places I have yet to check. It is easier to use if you click on the link below. Let me know what you think.

    Had my first Sparrows of the year at Tower Bridge last week, all male and mostly down on the lawn by the main entrance.

    One had a feather in his mouth which fell out and blew away when he perched and started calling. Tourists wandering round must have thought I was the local madman laughing at some bird on a tree. Was good though :-)
