House Sparrow (Passer domesticus)

Celebrating World Sparrow Day!

I didn't realise it was WSD until I saw Pratim's wonderful painting this morning (http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/578357/cat/all) - so a quick change of upload plan for me to find a House Sparrow picture in my folders.

I didn't see too many in the early weeks of the year (or the weather was too wet and dark to take pictures!!). However it looks like the guy on the right is thinking of nest building judging by the fluff in his mouth!

Sorry the focusing is a bit off, it was taken sideways through the double-glazing of my other window, it was the best of the set though.

Its a great behavioural shot Dlia. Great to see them building their nests again. I brush m two labradors outside and the birds love the moulted hair that they find.

Looks like these two were preparing for it in Feb Delia. Nice shot, but prefer "off the wall" to "sitting on the fence".......Lol.

Nice job through the window Delia! Looks like one of these guys started his nest early-at least compared to my sparrows.
