Sparrows….I think

    For quick snaps I’m quite happy with them…. and C&C welcome of course

    Sparrows seems right, though it’s not easy to be certain with 1 and 2.
    I prefer 3 and 4…. maybe 3 is marginally better (if you swap them about
    now I’ll look proper silly).

    I like the sparrow shot the most as well, the depth of field is nice. The contrasty harsh light can make the exposures difficult but it looks good here.

    Thanks for the repsonse guys. Not too bad for my back garden!!

    Pete, was looking the first two up online, and had a dud shot from the back showing the wing and head detail….seemed to fit the English sparrow description a lot. Can anyone else shed some light on that??

    I have to agree with pete 3 and 4 are the best 1 and 2 i think are young sparrows (youngsters) maybe just out of the nest a few weeks as they would not be fully fledged yet or gone through the moult and would not have as much color as the adult sparrows.

    Haha, ive tried a few times to get some snaps of these little buggers in my sycamore, they’re easily startled. Nice pics, i really like 3.

    I reckon the first 2 are house sparrows, probably juveniles or females
    like andy77 said.

    If you’re patient enough to let them get used to you then you should
    be able to get quite close. Invite Noely round and he’ll have them perching
    on your shoulder singing Molly Malone.
