With apologies to Marian for missing out her records, and anyone else I have omitted. They will go in the final document.

Sorry Steve-must have missed all requests for house sparrows. There is a flock of 20-30 half way up Hall Bank Lane, Mytholmroyd.
They surprised me the other morning (7.30ish) by irrupting from a shrub where they'd been roosting overnight.
