self Kanpur Nagar Uttar Pradesh
The Sparrows were seen infrequently during the period prior to 2010-12. Being a water front the Ganga barage started attracting city tourist and alongwith it came a hoard of vendors selling snacks like ground nuts, namkeens, tea stalls etc. The scraps of food articles thrown saw an increase in the number of sparrows scavenging on them. At times we have seen a flock of over 200 sparrows roosting on the thick shrubs and bogunvillae planted by the Irrigation dept. Regretfully we have yet to see the nestings in the area.
