The white-crowned sparrow is a very rare vagrant to western Europe. [5] It has been sighted in England, Scotland, [5] [6] Ireland, [7] and Norway. [8] In 2008 a white-crowned sparrow was spotted in Cley next the Sea in Norfolk, England. [9] To commemorate the event an image of the bird was included in a window at St Margaret's Church.
These birds have brown backs streaked with black, and distinctive head markings. Their cup nests, built by the female, are of plant material lined with fine grasses and constructed on the ground, low in a tree or bush, or in a niche in a wall. The female lays brown-blotched greenish-blue or greenish white eggs, which she incubates for 12–14 days.
