The last RSPB report I read said that hedge sparrows are in decline;I maybe wrong here but I am sure it mentioned them being caught in traps in Mediterranean countries.Traps are designed to catch larger birds but the dumb old sparrow falls for it too. Think the traps involve tree branches coated with glue and bait on the glue so the birds get stuck and starve.Not too pleasant.
