Kindest Regards

Can't make very much of this one, I'm afraid, but I'm inclined to think it's just a female House Sparrow.

My sparrow numbers (in the garden) have gone down badly in the last 5 years or so, though I am not aware of any great changes in the area. I know they are now on the "danger list", although many people here seem to have plenty.

Sadly, it's not "just a sparrow" for me now.
