This guy was tiny. He seemed to have a lot of personality.

If they're both the same bird, looking at the 2nd shot, I'd lean towards a house sparrow based on the looks of the head and beak. But the 1st shot does look like some kind of finch, though. :confused:

Can't figure out the ID on this one Paul, however good shots. The natural light on them is quite amazing giving off very good details.

Can't help with the ID but these are excellent shots. Very sharp with good details. Exposure is spot on and the bokeh is beautiful. Brilliant. :-)


Best regards

Two great pictures of a female house sparrow. These are very familiar birds in the uk, so familiar that a lot of people don't really bother with them, and with these two superb shots details become apparent that we don't normally see.

The divide between finches and sparrows is very fine. They are both seedeaters, and have typical seedeater bills.


Don't procrastinate if you can put it off 'til tomorrow!

Phreddie is spot on--just like the photos! House Sparrows are very common and do have bubbly personalities. :-)
