This year a pair of House Sparrows chose to raise their noisy chicks in one of our birdboxes, visible from our kitchen window. The most entertaining and enchanting family to observe and the silence, now they have fledged, is palpable. We think there were at least two chicks but we missed them fledging so there could well have been more.
The Sparrow Box
Sparrow parents spin
Frantic food dash, fly, fly, bug
Woodlouse for lunch, yuk!
Godzilla and Bro
That’s what I nicknamed the pair
Roaring for food now
Empty Nester
You have fledged, nest-box now cold
Little sparrows flown
