House Sparrow, Rutland Water Bird Center, Rutland Water UK<\/p><\/div>\n

No…or course not…it is the common (or once common) House Sparrow, from the feeders at Rutland Water Bird Center in midlands of the UK. They are in a serious decline in the UK, and at least some birders would not be unhappy to see them in a similar decline in the US, where, as an introduced species, they compete with native sparrows for nesting and foraging areas. There is no decline in the US though. Whenever I see a House Sparrow in Europe, whether in England or on the Continent, I think it really should have a more dressy name. They are far brighter, much more boldly colored, altogether more attractive, than in the US. Royal Weaver Finch in England, and, of course, Imperial Weaver Finch on the Continent. Don’t you think? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
