The population of house sparrows in Denmark is in rapid decline, reports Kristeligt Dagblad. According to the Danish Ornithologist Association, the little birds have been disappearing – particularly from suburbs, small towns and the countryside. Their numbers have nearly halved to about 1.8 million in the last 40 years. The population of lashes and skylarks has also tumbled due to pesticide spraying and the fertilisation of farmland.
