]This is a photo of a UK House sparrow.

There are two types of UK sparrows, the House and Tree sparrow.

There are other species in Europe, as well as Asia and Africa.  Though the America sparrow is not that closely related to the UK sparrow.

Sparrows are Finch like birds.  As the photo shows, they have rather stout bodies, their wings are a rounded shape.

The UK Tree Sparrow is smaller than a house sparrow, but is a livelier than the house sparrow.

The tree sparrow is a shyer bird than the house sparrow and they do not like have a lot to do with   people.

Over the last 45 to 50 years the UK tree sparrow population suffered a very severe decline. It is estimated it is over 90%.  Though I read not long ago, that numbers are increasing

Rebot...thank you for the information...Similar to our UK Starlings, although there seemed to be no decline of them at my old address of Bedfordshire, where I had daily regular supply of them ( including their young, ) come visit just to have a birdbath, which I so miss seeing now, I loved seeing them making a splash...I have not spotted even one at my new address in Dorset, yet we have plenty of other birds and wildlife surrounding our area of country-side homes...
