Hello Ivan,

You have made a very good photo of the sparrow. Image quality is very high. The bird is shown in great sharpness so that details of plumage can be very well seen. Colors are very fine rendered being well saturated and looking natural. The cactus beneath and behind the bird looks interesting. Plant and bird stays very nice against the blurry background.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Spanish Sparrows are truly good looking, Ivan.
This handsome male looks stunning -- standing there on some kind of cactus plant, presumably.
The image is technically outstanding and aesthetically very pleasing.
I also like the plain BG with those mild dabs of colours merging so well with the generally grey tone.
TFS and regards.

merhaba Ivan,
another great work from Canaries. I think you came back with a full treasure box. male Spanish Sparrow's wonderful capture on cactus. especially eyes contact, sharp details of plumage and POV wonderful. but also exposure, lighting and BG.
I captured this species Central and Southern Turkiye in many times. But this is in more quality. Thanks for sharing this beauty. teşekkür ederim, iyi akşamlar dostum.

Hi Ivan,

If this had a blue sky I would have said if you were in Tucson why didn't you let me know!!! Only kidding - the sparrow is not the same and the cactus is not the same. In fact, with the thousands of sparrows around I have never seen one perch on a cactus. This Spanish Sparrow is wonderful and he does look just like our House Sparrow except for the dark breast. Excellent details of the face, wings and plummage along with marvelous colors. Love the pose, background and composition.

I am so used to them on my feeder or back porch. this perch looks so traditional and provincial. A rare treat seeing it in this environs Ivan. they indeed look much like ones here..only a few differences..

Superb, Ivan, the bird is so well captured in the nice bright light (not too much) on this cactus. I didn't even know House Sparrows had different species and this one is very, very close, from the outside and the little knowledge I have. Thank you for this superb notes, once again, and beautiful picture,

Hello Ivan,
A very fine picture of the male of Passer hispaniolensis. Vivid eye and great pose on these photogenic cacti. The colours of the picture are very subtle, nice transition from green to grey. The picture of the female is also great.
Thanks also for the informative note

Does this Spanish sparrow whistle in Spanish too? I never knew of these birds at all.
He looks similar to our NZ sparrow (who whistles in Maori) but his breast feathers are much more spotty.
The female is VERY similar to our girls.
Good pose Ivan, I do love these little birds who live world-wide.
