Reader photos: Sparrows in my backyard

Readers share their photographs of sparrows.

Who doesn't miss spotting the good old sparrow in their neighbourhood?

Gone are the days when these birds would sit on our window slits.

Today, all one gets to see are pigeons and crows. 

Thankfully, some of our readers decided to share some of their lovely photographs of sparrow sightings. 

Take a look!

We pray that they don't become extinct soon! 'Sparrows were aplenty in Vaishali, Ghaziabad till five years back. I don't see any now. This beauty was captured by me, circa 2012, at my home's parking gate,' writes Amit Tyagi.
