Tree Sparrows.
  Tree Sparrow Passer montanus  
  
Certainly cleaner-looking, prettier and smaller. Chestnut-brown head, whitish-grey cheeks with a black patch, otherwise like all sparrows.
Much less tied up with human beings than the house sparrow. In winter busying themselves in groups in quietish corners, more cautious and discreet than the „city urchins”. Have increased during the last few years, numbers may be nearly the same as for house sparrows or some 400,000.
