  1. I'm not south but plenty about here.
     
  2. We have sparrows in the hedges in the lanes here in Dorset.

    Plenty here too in West Yorks. Maybe Sparrows, or Sparrers, as I believe our cockney cousins call them, just don’t like East Grinstead.

    Here in Norfolk I see more robins than sparrows...
    Have a lot of fly-catchers though which are great to watch :)
     
  6. Still have sparrows in Hampshire but probably more red kites,they’re everywhere

  7. The Maltese have eaten then all as they will eat anything that moves/flies/wriggles. Ask Chris Packham if you don't believe me.

  8. Put up some nesting boxes
    Two long boxes with three or so holes
    High up on leeward side of your house away from cats
    And you within two years they will be
    Full

    We’ve got sparrows nesting in the roof. V lovely apart from in the summer when they wake you up at 4 having a squabble.

    However, in the trees over the back there are squirrels, crows and magpies who also wake you up fighting as they really don’t like each other :)

  12. Yep, they balance their lardarses on the incoming telecoms cable directly above my car and dump directly onto the windscreen. They also land at the bottom of the steep pitch roof on my garage then struggle to walk up the hip tiles to the top - common sense would suggest that if they are gifted the ability to fly, why don't they fly to the top?
