House Sparrow Parks Project, London, 2009-2010

These surveys were carried out to determine bird species present and breeding in and around the 19 parks involved in the RSPB's London House Sparrow Parks Project. The results will help assess effectiveness of trial habitat management schemes in London's parks - especially for house sparrows. House sparrows are a UK and local BAP species and a red-listed species of conservation concern. The surveys were carried out in April and May 2009 and 2010. All species recorded in the surveys are shown via the 'species' link on the left hand side of the NBN webpage. Partners involved in the London House Sparrow Parks Project are: Camden Council, City of London, Islington Council, Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, Southwark Council, Sutton Council, The Royal Parks, Wandsworth Council. The project was funded by the SITA Trust through the Landfill Communities Fund. Additional funding has been supplied by Northern Trust and ICB Diadem.
