Years ago I went to Maiden Bradley, in Wiltshire, to see how people were encouraging tree sparrows to return to an area where they had hardly been seen for years. Wide headlands were being left around the ploughed fields and the right feed spread. And now I was walking along the old drove road west of Castle Cary into the wide, watery space of Cary Moor with two folk equipped with binoculars and a telescope. They too hoped to see tree sparrows. Small flocks of birds darted across between the trees ahead of us. They were at once confidently identified by my companions: chaffinches, reed buntings and yellowhammers but no tree sparrows, although between 15 and 25 are now resident in this wetland, brought back by the establishment of the Cary Marsh nature reserve.
