Observation details
Exact count. 2/3 photographed. As a rule here, I have found this sp. to be the most difficult to observe and photograph and have also found that pishing (even faint pishing) simply moves them deeper into cover. Another rule: they're tied to islands of leafy veg/shrubbery among the grasses. They often peer out from low down in this veg; very frustrating for IDs so patience is required. Naturally, the "best" sparrow at this site is the hardest to observe ;)
