Yet more nest building
The nest area
Just when I thought I was getting near to trimming the ivy at the back of the house before it blanks out the bathroom window the House Sparrows are refurbishing the nest for a late third brood. Another pair in the same spot have already reared 3 broods as well as 4 pairs nearby under the eaves. About 40 young have fledged between our house and the neighbours on either side. Not bad for a bird in decline, although Queensbury has never been short of this species. Looks like the ivy is going to have to wait a while yet.
