[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was shot at Wicken Fen Nature Reserve, I had been walking around the site all day and had had no luck. I then went on to the little cafe to have a bite to eat, this is when i found were all the birds had been. So there I was with my lemonade and bacon sandwich sitting at a picnic table snapping away at anything that moved. It was during this time that one brave little sparrow came to within about a meters distance and just sat and stared at me.

Hi Will. A good close up of the Little Sparrow. Your sharp focusing has given fine detail and natural colours. With a glint of light in the eye. well done TFS.
