Me and my wife were sitting on a rock at the beach and this little guy landed about six feet away I had my 100mm-400mm on the camera and didn't know if I could shot him that close or before he flew away but I tried anyway and he stayed around long enough for me to get this.

Male Passer Domesticus or something like that. The Britons and Europeans are charmed by it, the N. American birders generaly despise it ;) . Many years ago I came accross an interesting account of the house sparrow's natural history on this continent....that started me on quite a journey....:)

I quite like them myself, have dozens to say the least nesting about my place.
