not a tree sparrow - Norfolk, UK (1 Viewer)

At the weekend we had tree sparrow in the garden for the first time in about three years. Later the same day a second bird dropped in to the birdbath, I grabbed a few shots assuming tree sparrow but it appears to be a tree x house hybrid instead.

Posted this in a different place but thought I would move it here to see if others agree that this is a tree x house hybrid. Not that I'm sure what else it could be!

I’d agree with you.

Indeed, that is a Tree sparrow x house sparrow hybrid !

 

[Jeff Hopkins]

Neat bird!

After going through all the hybrids of these two species, I have to agree with you Pete.
