House Sparrow female/Passer domesticus

information from wicipedia and few my own:
is a member of the Old World sparrow family Passeridae, considered by some to be a relative of the Weaver Finch Family.
The sparrow is very common in the all region,he live in lived regions and is nourished everywhere, even in fringes of wetlands.
This 14 to 16 cm long bird is abundant in temperate climates, but not universally common, and is scarce in many hilly districts. In cities, towns and villages, even around isolated farms, it can be the most abundant bird.
The male House Sparrow has a grey crown, cheeks and underparts, black on the throat, upper breast and between the bill and eyes. The bill in summer is blue-black, and the legs are brown. In winter the plumage is dulled by pale edgings, and the bill is yellowish brown. The female has no black on head or throat, nor a grey crown; her upperparts are streaked with brown. The juveniles are deeper brown, and the white is replaced by buff; the beak is pink to dull yellow. The House Sparrow is often confused with the smaller and more slender Tree Sparrow, which, however, has a chestnut and not grey crown, two distinct wing bars, and a black patch on each cheek.

This photo is from the environmental park Tritsi in Athens,it constitutes one from the last shelters of wild life in the urban environment of Athens.

Hello Nasos,
Though the female House Sparrow is a rather dull-looking bird, you have made a fine sharp capture of one taken from a frontal POV in a nice pose, her turned head catching the light well against a pleasing neutral BG.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Hi Nasos,
the bird is beautifully captured. The branches give a good visual and graphical impact. A nice composition with the green blurry background giving the touch of nice soft canvas.
Good presentation of the bird in brilliant pose.

Regards,
Foozi
