Good un Easty, sweet little bird, looks a bit like our Reed Buntings.
 
And now you have added another great picture of this lovely looking bird.

Well done Easty, im keeping my fingers crossed the weather stays good for you :t::t::t:
 
What a cutie!!! :bounce: Mali is right, it has the air of our Reed Bunting, but paler!

Very good addition to enrich the gallery, Easty, loads of thanks for it!!! :t: :t: :t:
 
Could be Eastwood, it just looks an awful lot like a female House Sparrow. Great shot though, good detail! :t:
 
Great capture of this pretty sparrow! Well done! I'd love to have one of these for my gallery.
