Just completed my Big Garden Birdwatch but my usual house sparrows didn't visit during the hour :-(. Unfortunately we have had a sparrowhawk in our garden this week so I think the smaller birds are still playing it safe! Only one dunnock today and even the robins were having a good look round from the willow dome and hedge before coming down to feed.
My sparrows disappeared for weeks when we had a Sparrowhawk visit one day but they did come back and there were 11 on my count this morning (the most abundant species).
My Sparrows had been gone for ages - until today that is. Would you believe it, the little dears came back for BGBW!
