And they can be quite 'vocal' can't they? We get a flock of them in the
hedge at the edge of the garden and they are a noisy little bunch which
wouldn't do any recording session any good! In fact, I occasionally get
birdsong creeping into my own recordings, along with the odd car going
past!

Sparrows used to be about the most common bird in this part of London.
Then all but disappeared perhaps 10 years ago. And although they've
returned, in nowhere near the same numbers.

With my sort of location recording, I missed them very much. Their
constant noise helped mask other more intrusive ones.
