White Sparrow follow-up (in the press)..
Hello all,

I don't frequent these forums nearly often enough, but just this week I posted a picture I have of a white sparrow (here: White Sparrow)

With this I was a little fortunate this week in that it was picked up by a UKNP member who did all the right things for it to end up in the Daily Mail and Daily Express along with the online version of the Telegraph.

A lot happened this week with regards to what I thought was a simple post out of interest then to see it published very prominently on page three of the Mail among other papers. It just shows what can happen when you show your pictures to a few people.

I'm much indebted to the member of this site who made this happen for me :)

Here's the Telegraph story: White-sparrow-caught-on-film

I've attached here one more picture from the series I took :)

(Edit: I've just noticed shortly after I initially posted this that Barry Bland - the UKNP member who picked this out for publication has already just left a post here regarding this story. So, many thanks Barry :)

Good stuff.
