Thank goodness we still have a colony of House Sparrows at the Tyre Depot.
There noisy little buggers, but take that away and you would miss it.
Always on the look out for food they frequently swoop down from the guttering above my main entrance to grab anything thats going.

Good sparrow pose and enviroment, a cheeky sparrow. The colour concerns me a little, is there a cast? A little magenta on my screen.

Colours look OK from here - would have prefered the head to be cocked more towards you.

Nice to know you've still got some Spugs too Major - with all the youngsters just fledging, we've got a huge flock which just seems to have been "deposited" in various parts of the garden & the only way to describe the noise is as a "racket" (we've also a huge flock of yobs, sorry!, Starlings) - they would definitely be missed though :smile:

Hi Major,
A fine portrait of an often over-looked species. :cool:
