The area sees heavy traffic movement all through the day and night. I first observed sparrows here about 4 years ago when I started using this road to commute to work, now I see them almost every day. Sometimes they are in groups of 5-12 and sometimes, just a pair - a male and a female. There are some Acacia Catechu and Singapore Cherry trees all along the path, I see them flying in and out of these trees. |
