12th February - Cloudy, dull, very light NE, 5C

I decided to check a few local places for House Sparrows today to help the LROS House Sparrow survey. 

LROS is conducting this throughout the year to get a detailed distribution and estimate of population.  The House Sparrow has seen a large reduction in numbers in some parts of the country, so data are needed to see how it is fairing in Leicestershire and Rutland.

My largest count was c20 in Walcote.  More places to visit yet!
