The report on birds that occurred around Bridport in 2022 has just been
published and can be downloaded from the link below. This report is a team
effort by members of the Bridport Bird Club and others who sent records to the
Bird Club.

If you would like
to help make the 2023 edition as complete as possible, then please send your
records to the bird report editor, Pete Forrest, at <a href="mailto:peteforrest81@gmail.com">peteforrest81@gmail.com</a>. A map of

Despite being an abundant species in the UK, with an estimated 5.3 million
pairs, the <b>House Sparrow</b> has declined by around 65% since the 1970s and
is now on the Red List as a bird of conservation concern.

In Bridport the species <i>seems</i> to be faring well but, partially due its tendency to nest
on inaccessible private housing, no territory mapping was carried out during
the 2021 breeding bird survey. It was the only red-listed species not
censused. However, <b>House Sparrows</b> are largely sedentary birds, so data on winter abundance can
potentially provide a useful measure of local population status, as well as being relevant to conservation given that winter survival of seed-eating <b>finches </b>and <b>sparrows </b>is a major cause for concern.</p><p><b>House Sparrows</b> roost communally at night in winter, being rather noisy at roost sites until it is dark and therefore relatively easy to detect by their chatter. Bridport Bird Club plans to survey the entire recording area for roosts during the 2022/23 winter, once in Nov/Dec and again in Jan/Feb. We aim to map every accessible roost site and estimate the number of birds present, in this way producing baseline information on the population status of <b>House Sparrows</b> in the Bridport area.</p><p><span style="background-color: #fcff01;"><b>How you can help...</b></span></p><p><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">It is highly likely that some roost sites will be in locations inaccessible to surveyors. If you are aware of <b>House Sparrows</b> roosting in your garden, at your place of work, or anywhere else that a survey conducted from public roads and footpaths might well miss, please do get in touch with us so that it can be included if at all possible (any records submitted from private property will be kept confidential), the only proviso being that the location falls within the boundary outlined on the recording area map below.

conservation charity Marinelife, and Head of Ecology at Mapperton
Estate lead the survey for the Bridport Bird Club. He explained:
“Traditionally, birders living in Bridport used to leave the area
to go birdwatching elsewhere. But the Covid-19 lockdown meant many
local birders had stay and explore what was on their doorstep and
what we found has been a real surprise.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

some rare and threatened species breeding here. But conservation
action is needed to give these and other species the space and
habitat to thrive.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

Reed Bunting and Linnet are clinging on in the area and without
conservation help could soon go the way of other once locally
common but now extinct species such as Grey Partridge and Tree
Sparrow.“</span></span></span></span></span></span>

threatened breeding birds underway in the area, which is a concern
given the many threats they face including agricultural
intensification, recreational disturbance by dogs, predation by
cats and habitat loss in gardens. The group hope that the
information provided in the report will help change that.</span></span></span></span></span></span>
