Very nice - especially the second one (although I love the color in the first)!

Great shots - how close where you. Sparrows in the UK always act like they are on speed!

Yes nice catch . . . the ones here twit around a lot as well.

Beautiful pictures! Your sparrows look very much like the sparrows here in the US. We call them 'English' or 'House' sparrows in the SW.

Thanks All.
Damien, they were quite close actually...probably a metre or so. They we're much less flighty than the ones we have here in Australia too. Still quick, but you could get close to them.
Pawnee Dan, these are the same species...I think the early English settlers carried them everywhere :-) !
