Hi
Just wondering if anyone coming across any big TS flocks in this weather?
My own take on this judging from the emails I get at treesparrows.com is that birds are much more reliant on garden feeders now and consequently the population is fragmented and large flocks rarely happen, despite there being some attempt by conservation /farming bodies to provide unharvested crops etc. This also leads to small garden colonies where they take up nestboxes. All very good for the birds of course.
Any feedback would be of interest, and any sightings here
We have a resident flock of around 40/50 Trees Sparrows , they breed well around the farm buildings too and in the nest boxs
