Market No 3, C.R.Park, New Delhi Chittaranjan Park New Delhi Delhi
During the late 1990s, sparrows were frequent in the Market no.3 area of C.R.Park, South Delhi area. There were nesting sparrows in my house. Unfortunately there nest attracted cats and for some reason we had to wall up the crevice.
During the period say 2005-2010, I was alarmed to see a decline in the number of sparrows.House sparrows seemed to have abandoned South Delhi locality. I then visited Gurgaon, and was glad to see two sparrows in the field. I read up on BNHS activities and even Mrs. Sheila Dixit, Hon'ble CM of Delhi contributed in increasing awareness about the decline in number of sparrows and even celebrated a House Sparrow day.During 2011-12 however sparrow population seemed to have increased. I am now able to see a group of sparrows almost every three days.
