Queensbury House Sparrows


                                       Guardian of the Nest
                       Keeping a sharp lookout
                                         A regular nest site.

Queensbury is still one of the best strong holds around for House Sparrows, mainly because they seem to like the altitude and are hard enough to take the winters up here. Numbers declined over the last  few years, at one point it was common to have over 80 in the garden together but recently I am down in the twenties.
This year however flocks of 20 + are gathering nest material and I have 3 pair nesting in the Ivy along with 12 birds roosting.  Hopefully numbers will be on the up again this year,

For a stonking photo of the Fly Flatts Common Scoter click on Calderbirds,  nice one Jim.
