Not on Bird track Dave. That is a fault of the system if no accountability of the records submitted cannot be traced to source.

Both of those reports (and all previous records) are from the same observer and relate to the grid square over the RSPB centre. Obviously no Tree Sparrows exist on the reserve, nor anywhere in WM county (presumed extinct). This observer has reported them multiple times, however funnily enough doesn't include House Sparrow on any complete lists from the site...

Cheers Craig for that info Dave
 
Tree Sparrow

The last confirmed record for the Valley was of seven birds in February 2005 and the last confirmed breeding was in 2000.
