[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This male house sparrow (passer domesticus) represents a bird species that can be found virtually everywhere here in Europe, but also beyond - it is estimated to be the widest distributed bird species on Earth.

The sparrow feels right at home in human environments, eating seeds from and nesting in our gardens.

This particular sparrow was very cheeky, demanding the sole right to my feeding cylinder, and, when I approached to take his picture, stopped eating to look at me as if to say: "Do you mind? I'm eating here." When I left he resumed eating and fighting off the other sparrows.
