STNM (Sir Thutob Namgyal Memorial) Hospital Complex STNM Hospital COmplex Gangtok Sikkim
This afternoon, as I left the Emergency Room of the STNM Hospital after my 3rd dose of Rabies vaccine, I saw this male House Sparrow alight before a parked vehicle. As I fumbled in my bag for my camera, it hopped under the front bumper and brought down what looked like a winged termite. Luckily I could take a couple of quick photos before it flew off. Nearby perched on the air-conditioner box were some Eurasian Tree Sparrows chirping away. Good to see that my joint group of House and Tree Sparrows still live amicably at STNM Hospital complex!!

These sparrows that I see love my tiny balcony garden. They often dig around the pots scattering dust. Sometimes they peck at buds of hibiscus and nibble at tender bougainvillea leaves.They are usually chirpy and create quite a racket.Of late the number has dwindled but I am happy to say that I still see a few everyday.

I have noticed the sparrows near by office building, which is a fairly newly constructed building. Some 5 years old. I have not seen a big flock but occasionally 3 to 4 sparrows. Once an injured one actually flew inside the building which is completely air conditioned and as such has no windows. Out colleagues alerted the house keeping staff who safely took it out without injuring it.
