During Garden Watch and since then, house sparrows have been the most common birds in my garden. In fact towards the end of the summer there were large groups (maybe up to 20) playing about. Suddenly they’ve all disappeared! Still getting plenty of goldfinches, chaffinches, dunnocks, great/blue/coal tits, robins, collared doves, wood pigeon, magpies, jackdaws, blackbirds etc - but not a sparrow in sight!
Any suggestions where they’ve gone? We did have the odd one taken by a sparrowhawk, but its success rate would have been incredible to get them all.
