Tree Sparrows

While Tree Sparrows are all but extinct in Buckinghamshire, they are apparently not so scarce in Lancashire.  Today we walked with the grandchildren along a track close to their home.  The track runs across farmland between Leyland and Bretherton.  I found Tree Sparrows here last year and was pleased to find a flock of about 20 in the same area, feeding on the track and in a hedgerow.

Also seen were Yellowhammers, Bullfinches, Redwing and a single Fieldfare.
