Sparrow in Firethorn?

Sparrow in Firethorn? (Passer domesticus)

First time ever I've seen a couple of Sparrows in my firethorn eating the berries ... very unusual!
I planted this bush approx 7 years ago and till now it were only the Blackbirds who ate the berries ... they have to share them now with the little one I guess.

Super shot Jack, amazing what you can do on crutches!
Glad to see Julie agrees with me.............more herons!

Thanks Tilly :t: I took this one sitting in my "comfortable" chair; that's what windows are for ... so you don't have to go outside to go "birding".
Sorry about the amount of Herons - they don't come to visit my garden ;)

A splendid behavioural capture Jack! :clap: I've never seen a Sparrow eat fruit or berries before either.
