ISID campus, Vasant Kunj Institutional Area Vasant Kunj Institutional Area New Delhi Delhi
Its heartening to see a small group of sparrows when we take short walks within the campus after lunch on working days. They frequent the trees lining the campus walls, and prefer the cool shady areas near under-construction blocks. I have seen them generally foraging among the flower beds, grass and also the nearby concrete surfaces. I am yet to spot their nesting areas.

Sparrows gradually declined in our locality. They stopped nesting in our balcony. They would often come, looking for insects among the potted plants, or they would roost in the tree in front of our house. But day by day we could feel they were declining. Since 2005, however, I dont remember seeing any more sparrows around our house in Green Park.

The sparrows used to nest above our balcony doors, but during this period their number began to gradually drop, though they kept frequenting our house. The flocks just seemed to be getting smaller in size.

We moved into the locality in 1991; the colony was full of sparrows. We live on the first floor, and the sparrows would frequent the tree just outside in front of our house. They would also hop around the balcony among our potted plants, foraging for food. Then they started building nests in the narrow space between our sliding balcony door and the wall in which it was fitted. In fact we never used one section of the door so as not to disturb them. Every spring they would get busy with twigs in their mouths, building the nests, then after some time we would hear the faint chirps of the fledglings! It was such an eagerly awaited time!
