A Sparrow

[rssfhs]

At least that's what I think it is. I took this in our garden a few minutes ago. I used fill flash and changed the grey sky to blue in PS. Just wish I could have got it to look at me. It's not so easy taking these photos I am finding out. They don't exactly sit there and pose for you...

Glad you like it but not sure about about it being a bluetit. I thought they had blue backs, white and black heads and yellow breasts. Any experts out there?

Thanks Scrumpy! I'm in Japan. Maybe it's a Japanese tit. ;-)

Thanks Manny! Actually, it was quite small (like the majority of Japanese tits) ;-) maybe 10cm (3.93701 inches) from head to tail. The angle just makes it look so imposing.
