Some of them are in my garden, others are down by the canal. Are you short of sparrows?
It's difficult to count baby sparrows cos they won't sit still but it does seem like there's not quite as many as usual. I blame the late spring. The swans have only managed half their usual number of chicks; maybe the sparrows had similar trouble.
The bluetits are doing OK though (what a bleepin' racket...)

depends on the type of sparrow that you are talking about. White Crowned Sparrows for example head for Artic during warm weather. Most sparrows are semi-migratory. They prefer the northern climates during the warm weather and the more southern climated during the cold weather. If you live where it gets really hot in the summer, then sparrow will be scarce. There are exceptions. Seaside Sparrow stay in the same location all year--by the ocean. Rufous Winged Sparrows and Rufous Crowned Sparrows also are year round residents of their home range as is Bachmans Sparrow, but the Bachmans Sparrows are difficult to find because they like to hide in tall grass.

They've probably been eaten by the increasing number of pet cats.
