It looks to me as though everything I used to know as various finches in the UK are called sparrows in America?

I don’t know ... but in North america we also have a number of Finch varieties. A very different looking bird. Maybe we should have a Finch day?

That is very nice and beautifully framed with a nest of foliage.

This Sparrow day takes a lot of keeping up with :-)

But worthwhile

Thanks Richard! It does look nice and comfy with that setting.

That is a steller shot, Richard. It almost looks like someone took a small paint brush, and dabbed a little blue around the eye.
