tree sparrow passer montanus

Had a great time at Lake Tkern last weekend despite the fact that it was very windy most of the time. It was raining when we arrived but sunny when we left.

The snow's all gone agan and it was raining today. Took a a lot of pictures of herons in the snow last Sunday. I'll post one next week.

Always nice to catch up with this bird, 3 seen in the group on the day

I don't know why exactly but this one makes me smile.

I've started processing the pictures from our Easter trip and will begin posting them soon.

Forgot my memory stick with the first of the pictures from Turkey so 2 more pictures from Sweden today.

This was a very cooperative Tree Sparrow. We have had some sunny days in January though it's dull at the moment but any snow that falls seems to disappear very quickly. We're off to Turkey at the end of January though and I've heard there's a lot of snow there this winter. Not a birding holiday...

Didn't realize until I downloaded the pictures that the Sparrow was glaring at me in this one. :-)

It brightened up a bit on Saturday so I got a few pictures and a few more on Sunday. Dull again but I'm working so I don't mind so much. Sun and snow forecast for the weekend.

The Tree Sparrow was definitely interested.
