I guess I can google that answer really
Tree sparrow, house sparrow and hedge sparrow (otherwise known as a dunnock) are all in decline though the dunnock has not declined as much or as rapidly as the other two.

Its good to notice the differences in colour, your brighter green greenfinch is a male they are brighter green especially as we head towards the breeding season.
