It's nearly Christmas and Property Sparrow seeks a moment's indulgence.
She wants to bring the Cockney Sparrow project to your attention. Run by the London Wildlife Trust, this project aims 'to connect residents and tenants with the birds and wildlife on their doorstep.' See the details and photos here. Who said there was no connection between sparrows and property?
Residents and conservation officers are planting hedgerow species like hawthorn and blackthorn in and around their estates to create 'bustle-friendly' habitats beloved of sparrows. It's a great success.
The landlord involved with this is Peabody. See here some details about the founder, George Peabody 1795-1869, one of the great philanthropic bankers from an age when such people existed.
