Usha Lachungpa - Melli Bazar Melli South Sikkim Sikkim

Strangely during his Sikkim survey, Dr. Salim Ali did not observe any House Sparrows in Sikkim back in 1958-59. He found though that the Eurasian Tree Sparrow Passer montanus was a common resident. He also did not come across a third Sparrow the Cinnamon Tree Sparrow or Russet Sparrow Passer rutilans. I was hence taken aback when on a routine wildlife survey, 30 years later in around 1988-89, I came across scores of House Sparrows in the bustling township of Melli Bazar in South Sikkim. Many were nesting.


Usha Lachungpa - High Altitude Agro Animal Research Laboratory Dihar Leh Jammu and Kashmir

After the Conservation and Management of Himalayan Wetlands meeting at Leh,in June 2011, I went with my daughter Minla to see the DRDO's Lab and Animal breeding facility called High Altitude Agro-Animal Research Laboratory at Dihar on 22 June with the resident veterinary doctor. Saw one male House Sparrow pecking away in what looked like barren area and took a picture. Really surprising to see House Sparrow so comfortably at home in this high altitude cold desert.


Gangapriya Chakraverti - Sinola Village - Residence Dehradun Uttarakhand

My mother in law recently fixed a bird bath and some containers for water in her garden. The sparrows have since, come every morning for the grains and the water. There appears to be less than 5 birds. They come, peck at the grains, take a swig of water and fly away. There is a nest that the sparrows have built on a creeper that runs near the balcony of the house.
