Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I have been visiting GIACR Engg College @ Rayagada every year for the last 5 years to take up classes for Civil Engg Students. I stay at a College Guest House (check the co-ordinates). This year I happened to see the sparrows and immediately snapped some photos. I dont remember seeing them before but when enquired, students said that these chirpy little birds are very frequent here.
I basically belong to Visakhapatnam but havent seen these birds for many years.
I have posted the photos of those birds in my FaceBook (killi.srinivas@gmail.com)
