Populations of house sparrows across the UK have fallen from about 12 million pairs in the 1970s to between 6 and 7 million pairs today, with a greater reduction in urban and rural areas than in suburban ones.

Thanks for the info, limeybiker. I understand bird populations are decreasing everywhere. An interesting point: House sparrows were introduce in North America when a small population was brought from the U.K. for Central Park in NY City.

The House sparrow can be found on all the continents except Antarctica. Sometimes it seems like they're holding a global gathering in my yard, that and being small and without much color, they can easily be overlooked. Recommend downloading these common and somewhat plain birds.
Wonderful set, John! You managed to show a real beauty of the virtually everyday thing...Well done!
