House Sparrow - Passer domesticus indicus, Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka.

I took these photos in the Nuwara Eliya Gardens in June 2014. House Sparrows from being a very common bird in Sri Lanka, almost disappeared from sight over the last decade. They are now making a 'come-back'.

House Sparrow - Passer domesticus indicus, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

This was one of the commonest birds in Sri Lanka. It would build its nest inside the houses or in receptacles kept on the wall.by the householders. They disappeared for a few years. Now they are coming back.
