@brightonwildlife.bsky.socialHouse Sparrow (Passer domesticus) numbers in Britain are declining. They are now listed as 'Birds of Conservation Concern'!
#Brighton has maps and records showing population concentrations and also gaps. They are truly an indicator of urban ecological health.

See earlier post for a photo of the male. The wings of females are greatly reduced, covering only half the abdomen length.

This 'Nationally Scarce' species is in the Ectobiidae family of #insects, not the #cockroaches. It has a strangely coastal distribution in southern Britain and northern France.

Sad to read. We added 'School Grounds' on the #BrightonWildlife website following a promotion event over a decade ago.
