Working with the Kent Wildlife Trust we have identified two areas suitable for tree sparrow nest boxes at the family farm in Egerton.
We are lucky to have two small colonies on the farm and are making efforts to boost resident populations through habitat creation, supplementary winter feeding and now the installation of 10 tree sparrow boxes.
Tree sparrows’ nest in colonies so we have placed five boxes at each location, in an attempt to mimic a natural nesting environment.
We will keep an eye out for the next generation of tree sparrows later this spring.
