Re: Pioneering English Sparrows



It is worth remembering that although House Sparrows are associated with human habitation in the western part of their Eurasian range (and Tree Sparrows are the country species), the reverse is true in the eastern part of their range. There it is House Sparrows that are country birds and it is Tree Sparrows that live in towns and cities.
