Welcome To TreeSparrows.com!
These appealing and attractive birds are in decline
in the UK. They are primarily a bird of lowland park and
farmland , occurring in UK and Ireland , much of temperate
Europe and across Asia.
They are often overlooked in their
traditional rural habitats or amongst groups of House Sparrows,
but they readily visit bird tables and feeders in villages
and the edges of towns during the Winter.
Tree Sparrows are also increasingly establishing small colonies
in rural gardens where nest boxes have been provided, usually
where they have been attracted by winter feeders. Great fun
to watch, they could raise three broods a year!
Professional
conservation bodies, farming interest groups and leading
bird societies are working together with farmers and landowners
to implement longer term solutions such as the provision
of winter feeding areas and habitat improvement schemes for
a range of farmland birds.
But there are THREE important things you can do to
help if you have Tree Sparrows visiting your garden or if
you know they occur nearby.
- If you see Tree Sparrows let us know using the online
form
- Provide a garden or farmland feeding table in the Winter
- Provide nest boxes for a garden or farm colony
