Tree Sparrow
One from today, as we finally have some sunshine I decided to go to the WWT Martin mere as it's one of the best sites I know for tree sparrow, anyway armed with my 800 and my 300, I decided to give it a go.

Phillip.

This d300 is really doing the business for you Phillip :toast:

The crop of the GSW was very impressive - it's putting the D2Xs to shame :eek: :eek: :frown:

Nice capture. Sparrows are under-rated.
