Description

"The UK population of Tree sparrows declined by 93% between 1970 and 2008 and when I moved to my home on the Yorkshire Wolds over 27 years ago there was only one pair of tree sparrows nesting here.

Since then I’ve put up special terraced nest boxes and put food out for these birds
Now I have over a hundred and I love to hear these noisy flocks as they chatter around the garden.

When I spotted a flock perched together on a hawthorn branch, I decided to paint the scene. Using acrylic paint, I started with the sky, then painted the rolling hills in the background, and, some distance away, the trees and hedgerows. Once the backdrop was ready, I began painting the sparrows onto the branch. There were 19 individual sparrows altogether."

  • Sandi Angel Added GREAT video and painting. I had to check to see if I had the tree sparrows in my yard and YES, I have them and many, many others. I put water out and seed of course for the pheasants but for the smaller birds all winter I had suit and could view them all on my deck from my kitchen window. When I call to them-SUIT-SUIT-SUIT, they all come to enjoy their food (Plus all my many different woodpeckers). I have a NATIONAL WILDLIFE backyard habitat.
