I know these aren't the most loved birds on the forum, but since I've had my feeder up for about a month this is all i've been getting, and I have come to enjoy them.

Great detail. Excellent. I like the little guys. We have a bazillion of them around here. They are fun to watch in the puddles.

Actually, House Sparrows are probably my favourite little birds. That's because their numbers have dramatically declined here over the past few decades and while they were abundantly present during my childhood they are now gone from our streets and parks and you will hardly ever see one now. As a child I loved watching them taking sand baths. They would take turns. Anyway, this is a very pretty shot!
