Скачать или смотреть The Tree Sparrow

Tree sparrows are a red-listed species in the UK, having suffered a dramatic population decline due to habitat loss and changes in farming practices. However, in Dumfries & Galloway, particularly at ‪@wwtorguk‬ Caerlaverock, they are making a notable comeback. The reserve has become a local stronghold thanks to targeted conservation efforts like nest box installations and habitat management, supporting a stable and growing population.
Unlike their urban cousins (house sparrows), tree sparrows prefer rural settings and nest in colonies in tree holes or boxes. They’re distinguishable by their chestnut caps and black cheek spots. Caerlaverock’s wetland-rich environment and active monitoring have made it a key site for their recovery in southwest Scotland. #birds #conservation #sparrow #steveswonderfulwildlife
