Where have all my house sparrows gone?

Wow the snow really came down hard over night and most of today, I only had brief chances to look outside as I was doing DIY projects trying to get a room ready for when my parents come over from Australia on Sunday!!!  Hopefully we’ll make it in time, and between DIY and watching birds I was doing the finance updates for ISAs, credit cards and saving accounts over on (UPDATE: saverscene now CLOSED due to moving to carer in horticulture hope to have my gardening website up early 2019) – I try to find the best rates to help everyone, it’s tough time for savers!

I did a great list of birds even for the short time I managed to look outside, the blackbird count was fantastic, interesting to note that it was 4 male and 1 female.  I’m pretty sure there was a Black-headed gull and it looked as if the summer plumage had really come in and looked fantastic:

  1. Blackbird x 5
  2. Black-headed Gull x 1
  3. Blue Tit x 2
  4. Coal Tit x 1
  5. Dunnock x 2
  6. Greenfinch x 2
  7. Long-tailed tit x 1
  8. Magpie x 1
  9. Woodpigeon x 2

It’s weird that pretty much after I put up a RSPB terraced nestbox for house sparrows and about that time they all disappeared!  Not seen them for over 2 weeks.
