Well, I have been reading and observing over the past few years that sparrows are gradually declining in number. But in the past one year, I have observed them again in decent numbers in our locality. They seem to be recovering in our area. I see them on the paved ground below and on the ground covered with soil mixed with cement and fine debris. They seem to be bathing in these soil/cement patches.
I also see sparrows nowdays on the "Gokarn" climber in our balcony and also on the trees and shrubs around our building and in the premises of surrounding buildings.
I also here their chirping occassionaly during the day and especially prominent in the early mornings.
About a year ago I saw a crow carrying away a juvenile sparrow in its beak.
