Anyone who's read enough of this thread will be aware that I first became interested in sparrows while working at London Zoo, which had the last large sparrow colony in central London - about 150 of them. It's recently become apparent that the population has grown considerably over the last 5 years, and has recolonized parts of the zoo from which they've been absent for decades. Why could this be? Decking going out of fashion? Off-road parking spaces infra-dig in NW1? Maybe because the RSPB have planted some wildflower patches on Primrose Hill? Or could it be because Sparrowhawks have stopped breeding in Regent's Park?
