Euraisan tree sparrow

Spotted several of these in a mixed sparrow flock at the nature center. They were flying in and out of some bushes which still had a few leaves giving me several chances at getting one with the fall colors.

Canon T1i
1/400 @ F-5.6 ISO 400 -.7 adj
Canon EF-S 55-250 @ 250mm
HH IS on partial metering.

It looks like you caught him in some beautiful afternoon light. The head looks nice and sharp too. Setting is busy but that's where you found him. :toast:

I find that sparrows can be very difficult to get a good picture of one, nice job in getting this.

Looks amazing like our local House Sparrow John, you did a nice job on this image! Lighting seems good and you've got good detail. Cheers!
