    I don’t know about anyone else ,but a year ago we had hardly any Sparrows visiting our garden ,now we have up to 50 at a time feeding and bathing.
    Bathing is a joy to behold..........I have tried to capture on video from inside the house.
    Linking it to here has lost quality but you get the idea.

      Lovely to watch @roders :dbgrtmb:, I don't have a bird bath, just a drinking dish, so perhaps I should!

      We only have about 15 or so Sparrows but up to 30 Starlings which create a terrific din squabbling like they do.:rolleyespink:

          I've got a small flock of around 20 or so Sparrows occupying the two Conifers and I watch them flitting back and to on the Bird Feeders. It's not that many years ago when Sparrows dropped dramatically in numbers but it's good to see that the population is rising again.:coffee::snorky:
