For rousettus.

The Spanish Sparrow Passer hispaniolensis, also sometimes called the Willow Sparrow, is a species of sparrow closely related to the House Sparrow. It has a complex distribution in the Mediterranean region in Cape Verde, the Canary Islands, Madeira, northern Africa, western Spain, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta, the Balkans, and across southwest and central Asia from Turkey east to westernmost China. It is however absent from some parts of the Mediterranean region, notably Italy and Corsica, where it is replaced by the Italian Sparrow, a sparrow intermediate (and possibly hybrid) between Spanish Sparrow and House Sparrow. It also hybridises freely with House Sparrow in parts of northern Africa (northeastern Algeria, Tunisia, and northwestern Libya), forming highly variable mixed populations with a full range of characters from pure House Sparrows to pure Spanish Sparrows and everything between.

Hello
Beautiful shot. Very cute bird. Perfect blured, homogenous backgropund, great sharpness and nice set of colors. Maybe you could add some contrast but it is a very individual thing. I like your image very much

Hi Vicma,

It's about time for another post from you!! A beautiful Spanish Sparrow which very closely resembles our female House Sparrow. I'm not sure I would be able to tell the differences. You captured her beautifully in a wonderful pose with lovely colors and sharp details. A perfect background which blends so well with the bird.

Sparrows are real characters. I love watching them in the garden, they seem to play more than the other birds. This lookes really sweet, I love the pose captured, the perfect POV and the spot on DOF. Lovely!

Hola Víctor,
Una muy buena foto,se ve con todo detalle esta especie, de la cual me entero ahora de su existencia, se lo ve muy similar al gorríón común (Passer domesticus), lamentablemente introducido aquí en le siglo XIX y hoy viviendo en todo el país y´más allá, además abunda.
