house sparrow

Have a great weekend y'all.

On my early April walk round Gallowbank, that I showed you a picture of last week, I came across this House Sparrow. He was happily chirping away too. It looked like he was on the washing line from a distance LOL

.... or Pesky leaves .... or You can't see me.... ..... Isn't that what children believe "If I can't see you I'm invisible"? Though some birds just refuse to co-operate, don't they - he just had to move his head a wee bit and I'd have had his eye in the frame. But of the whole run of...

Never seen this behaviour before...Sparrows diving at fence for flies/bugs etc.

I'm a bit concerned about these this year - the parents usually feed 2 or more youngsters, but I've only seen single fledglings this year. Through the double glazing as usual Camera Maker: SONY Camera Model: SLT-A58 Lens: 75-300mm F4.5-5.6 Image Date: 2017-05-05 14:20:31 (no TZ) Focal Length...

Hi all, after a long break from BF I now have a bit of time to comment on all the fabulous photos that I have been watching.... so thought it nice to join in on Saturday Fun. The Sparrow was outside my kitchen window waiting its turn at the feeder, thought the 'alligator' was going to gobble it...

Going into its winter plumage.

Feeding the kids :)

For the past few evenings, this momma house sparrow brings her 3 fledglings to my backyard to eat. Chubby fluffy things...so cute!

A rare nice sunny day in February and I was tempted to go for a local wander. It was really pleasing to notice quite a few different House Sparrow colonies and they were all chirrping away quite happily in the sunshine. Just managed to get a view of this one, reserving one of the images for SF!!

Celebrating world Sparrow Day.

hope you like it.

Not certain I'm happy about this little guy showing off for his nearby mate. He's standing in front of a native western redbud tree that's beginning to bloom.

In honor of the Sparrow Day 2017. 2/3 swiss sparrows.

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...

They are molting at this time of the year and sit around in small groups preening them selves. To see them doing this is amazing!!!

This youngster is growing up fast, getting its adult plumage.

Taken in very poor light.

Heaps of these noisy juveniles around at the present.

...... Noooooo!!!! I got the Sparrow perfectly focused with a great pose and ..... I get a photo bomber!!! Moment was lost of course! Oh well! Guess the culprit! TTTW

They visit me every day feeding on the foods and sugar water I put out.
