Passer domesticus (House Sparrow) [in Turk. Serçe] (Female & Male)

Dear Friends, I would like to dedicate today’s posting of this wonderful pair to my big Sister on TN, Jane Magen (Jaycee) who would be reached 500th posting on TN in thanks for everything.
Hearty Congratulations My Sister! I hope you can like this pair of sparrow:)!
I wish you all the best!

TFL!
Cheers,

*****************************

The sparrow is one of the most well-known and best-loved birds. Both sexes have a brown back streaked with black. Males and females are easily distinguished; males have a black bib, a grey crown with chestnut sides, and white cheeks. Females and juveniles have a duskier appearance, and lack the black bib seen in males. It is a very vocal species, producing a great range of familiar chattering and chirping, and a 'cher'r'r' when squabbling.

Hello Neighbour,
The picture is not only technically outstanding but also stands apart for its thematic content.
The etiquettes are not entirely confined to humans; look at this male House Sparrow putting "Ladies First" anxiom of desirable social behaviour to perfect practice :).
Birds imbibe water in numerous ways, but this method is touching and a bit humorous too.
All in all, a wonderful picture, Prof Bayram.
Regards.
Ram

Çok net ve harika bir kompozisyon. Anlaşılan serçeler çok centilmen....

Günaydın Bayram Hocam, çok güzel bir kare. Insanlar da bundan ders almalılar:) Detaylar ve kompozisyon da çok güzel. Akar haldeki sudaki yansımada gerçekten görünüyorsunuz.
Emeğinize sağlık.

Ahh bir de öteki bana doğru baksa deyişinizi duyar gibi oluyorum hocam.

Saygılar.

Hallo Bayram
This surely is a special moment captured. So beautiful the whole scene and all other fine details in the image. The atmosphere captured is precious and very naive. The photograph is filled with lots of detail to appreciate. Not only your own reflection that you have mentioned in your notes, but also the beak of the bird seen through the stream of water, the tiny catch light in the eye and the almost plumpish backside of the sparrow is only to mention a few. Furthermore the focus and sharpness is tip-top and the background an excellent choice. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards.
Anna

Merhaba Bayram Hocam,
Bu güzel anı çok güzel yakalamışsınız.Erkek serçe çok centilmen "Ladies first" kuralına riayet ediyor:)Fon,su içindeki gaganın netliği,suyun berraklığı dikkat çekiyor.
Selamlar,ellerine sağlık..

Merhaba Bayram Bey,nefis bir kompozisyon.Nasılda güzel içiyor suyu.Kana kana su içmenin tadını çıkarıyor.Hakikaten diğer modelde çok nazik.Sakince bekliyor ve etrafı gözlüyor.Belki bir tehlike anında uyaracak.Annenizden de güzel haberler almayı bekliyoruz,sağlıcakla kalın :)

Hi LBB,

I just checked - you're right! Between my knee and the heat I haven't been able to take many pictures lately. I'll have to pull one out of my archives for #500. Thank you for this dedication - the picture is adorable and wonderful. I've seen sparrows do lots of strange things but never drink water like this. Great shot - great timing. You captured the moment perfectly with her taking a nice long drink and he waiting so patiently. This is a keeper.

Jane

I see this bird everyday. I must have seen two dozen today. Make that three dozen. And yet you have the humor to add to the title and to make a complete lesson. Sometimes a simple image does not do the job. Sometimes a good title and good notes make all the difference.

Good morning Dostum Bayram!
A great shot of a couple of thirsty House Sparrows, the male letting his lady drink first!
Technically excellent with fine composition and contrasting BG.
Thanks and have a good day!

Hello Bayram,
It's such a vivid and natural shot. I like pictures with stories!
Very well presented, good sharpness and a pleasant green background to enhance the drinking scene. Very well seen.
Kind regards

Hola Bayram,
Centilmen kuşumuzu pek güzel yakalamışsın dostum, keşke yüzü kameraya biraz daha dönük olsaydı diyor insan, ama doğada bu kadarını kontrol etmek de zor doğrusu!

Original y oportuno trabajo Bayram, con gran carga de realismo.

Bayram Hocam,
harika bir kare, mütüş zamanlama..Bu arada çok şirin bir serçe çiftiymiş, ne iyi bir erkek serçe, hem suyu önce ona veriyor hem de etraftan tehlike gelmesin diye onu orda bekliyor; kaldı mı bu zamanda böylesi:))
Niğde'den Selamlar...

Nezaket ve centilmenliğin buluştuğu bir çekim olmuş Bayram hocam. Muhteşem olmuş.
Elinize sağlık.
