News: March 2003

In the UK, house sparrow numbers have declined by more than 50% in the last 25 years and in urban areas, the decline is even worse. The RSPB wants you to contribute to an on-line house sparrow survey...

On any day between May 3rd and May 11th, you will be able to go on-line and, by answering a few simple questions about the sparrows you see (or don't see), contribute to the RSPB's efforts to understand, and eventually halt, the decline of one of our national favourites.

In fact the on-line form will be available outside the survey period (from May1st to June 8th). If you would like to be alerted by email when the form becomes available, follow the source link below and enter you email address in the 'email alerting' box.
