House Sparrow Passer domesticus |
|
The introduced House Sparrow is well known around human habitation, and in fact is more common in urban centres than in suburban gardens. They are generally seen in groups of six to ten, and for 14 years of the survey they were the second most common bird. Numbers are fairly regular throughout the year, but with a November low, and a peak in March. Numbers, and breeding records, have declined steadily during the survey. Fewer birds are observed during the breeding season because many birds move away from gardens to nest around town centres. Nesting begins in mid-September and the last dependent young are reported in late February. R=6. BR=9.
