The Gower Tree Sparrow Project has been running for over three years now. The aim is to encourage the species at its only known breeding site in the Swansea/Neath area, in western Gower. Each year, the project produces a short newsletter for participating farms.

If anyone sees tree sparrows anywhere within the Swansea and Neath area, I'd be very pleased to hear from them.

Similar story in the east, no TS were seen at their usual breeding sites in the Vale of Glamorgan this year despite regular monitoring. The only record we have for 2010 is a migrant at Nell's Pt. Barry in Sept. We may be faced with the fact that TS could well be extinct as a breeding species in Eastern Glamorgan. A sad outlook I'm afraid.
Do you think that despite the well meant intentions all this work has actually caused them to move somewhere quieter
