The remaining Tree Sparrow nest boxes were
checked this morning. The results were disappointing, but much as
expected, due to the frosts and heavy rain over the last two weeks. There
were quite a few nest boxes with small, dead young, and, of the broods that had
survived, several had only one or two young. In comparison, last year's first
broods were exellent, with most having four or five young, due to the heatwave
in April.
