Anothet shot of this very cute common bird. I now have a rather large extended family of these House Sparrows. They sit on the back fence waiting for me to fill the feeder with bread and to hang another honey seed bell in the Canton Lace tree. Lucily the honey seed bell lasts for up to 3 days, not so the bread in the feeder! I am fortunate enough to live close to a bakery that sell their 'seconds' in big bags for $1.00. I spent sometime yesterday making all the bread into crumbs in my food processor and storing in an airtight container that now takes up 1 shelf in the fridge. Wow, after typing this I have to ask myself, 'Do I have a life?' The answer is, 'Of course I do, I just love the birds!' and after all the weather has been horrible so I couldn't go anywhere anyway! This is 'Wee Sparrow #2'. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for popping by.

She's a pretty ball of fluff Pam. And you know you're never going to be able to stop this now. They'll become dependant on you. You won't be able to go on holidays unless you get someone in to feed the wild birds, or stay at home. Still, she's worth it, eh?

Pam, this is a excellent Picture. Great colours, sharpness excellent, a very nice composite. Well done.

Hello Pam,

For me this is a perfect photo. The BG is truly awesome and the details are razorsharp. Composition (with the diagonal twig) is great and POV & DOF are good. I love the superb colors. One of your best photos. Well done & TFS!

Pieter

Pam, a common bird, a great picture.

Excellent pov and sharpness. Composition is very nice too.

They are indeed very common, but, so far, I have not managed to get a good picture of one of them.
