| Résumé : | On the 9th of August 2010, between 20:00 and 20:50 h, in the square called Platia Solomon in Zakynthos Town in SW Greece, the arrival of a total of around 17 000 House Sparrows (apparently mainly birds of the year) was observed. The birds settled to roost for the night in palms and monkey-puzzle trees (Araucaria). Nearby in St. Mark's Square there were further roosts of several hundred or even a thousand House Sparrows, and again there appeared to be no other bird species among them. |
