On April 27, volunteers from a total of 465 locations throughout Bulgaria took part in the eighth edition of the "Let’s Count the Sparrows” campaign of the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds. A total of 6,240 sparrows of three species – house sparrow, field sparrow and Spanish sparrow – were counted, as the house sparrow is the most numerous (83% ).
