I provide a variety of bird food in my garden.Typically,there'll be about 16 finches and several of a number of other species at any given time.As a RSPB member I'm well aware of the decline in house sparrow numbers but in the annual 'Big Birdwatch' I normally report 4 or 5 sparrows.This winter,I haven't seen a single sparrow for ages.Anyone seen any?

People have been spray painting them red on the front I think.
Saw a few this morning.
Saw a couple of thousand flamingoes too. Amazing sight (and sound).

its a sad sign of the times with regard to the seemingly decreasing bird population, well, where i live, your fortunate to see any bird!
remember as a kid going into nearby woodland and nearby farms and seeing lapwings, finches, tits, even skylarks.
I would have thought many birds wouldve been attracted to housing estates simply to obtain food

plenty of sparrows in my garden. not much else though!
seen some sparrows in my garden but aint seen a robin yet
There is a tree in the centre of my town which is a roost for dozens of pied wagtails. I was not aware they roosted communally, like starlings.
A forumite mentioned a couple of days ago that he'd just seen a sparrow get despatched by a magpie.
Normally see a couple of robins when the going gets cold(when they start to tolerate one another),but like the sparrows they are missing.
I put food out in the garden for them and see plenty. Have to keep an eye out for pigeons nicking the food though because they'll drive the sparrows off.
birds going mental at moment, got blackbirds, jackdaws, wood pigeons, sparrows, robins, goldfinch and chaffinch in the garden. eating everything.
I did see a huge pair of tits in my garden this morning they were a fantastic sight
Good point not seen many this year come to think of it not seen a lot of bees in the garden
Plenty sparrows here, blackbirds, blue-tits (no comment necessary), seagulls, and the wife's seen a thrush.
another animal you dont see as many of today is hedgehogs, at 1 point you would see them in city backgardens as well as in rural areas just dont seem to see many about nowadays
quite a few house sparrows in our roof eaves every year though
Used to have sparrows nesting under our roof eaves but whilst having plastic soffits installed hasn't helped them,there has to be another factor in their decline.
No sparrows but I had a King** in my garden this morning
