House sparrow and wood pigeon





Here are two of our most familiar birds. They are magnificent. Sadly the house sparrow is now increasingly rare and is endangered. There are many theories why this once familar bird has vanished, but nothing conclusive can be proved. I suspect that loss of nesting places and domestic cats may be the cause. Young sparrows are all too frequently caught by marauding felines.
