Any chance this could be a Tree Sparrow? Lydiate (UK) 18th September (today) (1 Viewer)

Hi all

Only went out for a bit of a walk so only had my compact zoom camera with me when this fellow popped into view before popping off again so only got a few quick snaps in.

I can see a slight smudge near the cheek so was thinking it could be a Tree Sparrow - though a scruffy one at that

Any help always appreciated.

cheers

Looks OK to me, but don’t get many down my way, clear second wing-bar too. If any chance of hybrid I’ll leave to others.

Yes it is; funnily enough I was at the Scout Hut in Lydiate today; nice flock of about a dozen Long-tailed Tits at one stage.

Thanks guys

And there were a few 'troops' of Long-Tailed Tits seemingly following me on my walk today also - such characterful birds 🙂

A 'volery' apparently!

Isn't that a hit song by Amy Winehouse?
