So what's a poor architecture shot doing in this section?
We wondered why there were swarms of sparrows around this church every evening - looking at the 100% crop you can see where they build their nests!

Cheers, Robin

... that's because "His eye is on the sparrow..." :)

Great shot, too :righton:

We spotted Robin looks like your sparrows are using old house martin nests

Oops, my mistake Andy, I'm no ornithologist and now Marjorie tells me they were swallows, not sparrows (small birds begining with "S" always baffle me!). This was in Burgundy about 60 miles SE of Paris so my guess is they're Martins de maison (ou église) ;)

Cheers, Robin

Good to see you visiting the wildlife thread Robin! We'll just call this wildlife habitat and of course its proper ;)
