In Europe, it has spread northwards since the 1980s along most of its northern range border. Spanish Sparrows sometimes nest in large colonies, mostly near rivers or wetlands. They can also be found as \u201clodgers\u201d in the nests of raptors or storks. The Spanish Sparrow is closely related to the House Sparrow and the Italian Sparrow, and hybridisation with both species is common."}
