I have quite a few of these around the house, I have just been setting up perches/hide too so hopefully i may get a shot soon too.

Nice image John, top quality as usual !

That really was a nice surprise, we don't get that many of them in Kent any longer.

Top shot John. Saw a couple near where I live yesterday as it happens - first ones for ages.

Bit big in the frame for me but fine for posting here and a truly fine image of this increasingly harder to see Sparrow...

Hi John,

Great shot of a once so common bird. At least over here. Compared to 10 to 15 years ago they are not so common any more.

Lovely colours, pose and subject - maybe more space around him but still a really nice shot.
