Rock Sparrow, Ipsilou monastery
Female House Sparrow, Skala PolichnitouWe saw two species of sparrow on Lesvos: House and Rock. The former is extremely common, even in unpopulated areas (in sharp contrast to the UK); the latter we only saw around the buildings at Ipsilou monastery, where they were clearly breeding.
