The House Sparrow is very sociable. It breeds commonly around farmyards, towns and villages. The male shown here, has grey crown, red-brown temples, and large black bib. The females are uniformly more grey-brown, and have pale brown streak behind eye.
Sonjia what a great photo's of the this bird. In my country they don't do well at the moment but in my garden there are lots of them. I wish I could let you hear the sound they are making at the moment. It makes me believe that spring is on the corner. Have a wonderful weekend.
Wonderful pictures of the sparrow, Sonjia. It isn't easy at all to shoot great pictures of this bird. Mostly they are quickly gone. But you succeeded very well. While I am writing this to you a blackbird is eating the berries from branches in a garden vase on a garden table in front of my window. The red berries disappaer fast one after another. So funny. Have a good sunday. Greetings from a wet, grey and stormy Netherlands, Joke
I couldn't agree with you more! They are quite a common little bird ( although not as plentiful now as they used to be here) and because of this they are often overlooked, but they are lovely little creatures.
Hello Sonjia, These pics are really great! No chance for me to take photos of a sparrow here, I am lost in nature and they don't come here... probably sticking to village gardens! This little guy has gorgeous colors! I am glad you like the "french can-can" on my blog! LOL!!!! Keep well!
Thank you Joke!:)Normally they do fly away quickly, and it's difficult to even get close to them before they are off in a flash.I took this photo through my studio window, and it was a while before he flew away.
Blackbirds do love berries!:)Sounds like you might have missed a good photo opportunity!
We are having the same miserable weather as you! Boo Hoo!!:(
Thank you Eileen!:) Strangely I don't get to see many sparrows. They never come to my garden as we are too high up in the mountain. As much as it was informative your picture was so amusing, and somewhat racy! Keep them coming!:=) I
Dear Sonia I waited to write the comment to be able to say with certainty that my granddaughter came home today. Your photographs are always beautiful ... Yesterday seemed to spring here,as in your garden,but today it is winter again .Time to paint!!! Have nice week,hugs and kisses,Rita.
Thank you!:)Sparrows weigh very little. If you have ever held a bird in your hand, you will know what I mean.The plant is a Buddleia, but you probably know that already.:)

Wonderful shots of this bird!
He looks so peacefully inquisitive.

In Poland House Sparrow requires at least dozen houses in close neighborhood. I never seen them in "typical" countryside.

My favourite colour is green and I adore birds...so this series of photos has made my day! What beauty!

I think you are right Susan. He saw me, stared at me for a while, and only then flew away.

The sparrows congregate on the roof of my studio.It's still in the country surrounded by fields, but there are several outhouses nearby.
Linda
Thank you Linda!:) I actually tried to tone the bright green colour down in these images, as it didn't look natural, but it is!
I wear a lot of green, mostly moss green, it's very calming, and inconspicuous for bird watching.
Such sweet little birds. You have some fantastic shots here. Their tiny feet are so cute!

Thank you dear, and what wonderful news Rita!:) I felt anxious for you, and it's good of you to let me know Beatrice is home again.
We had hail today,torrential rain, and strong winds.The best place to be is indoors.Happy painting!! Hugs and kisses. x
So cute, the bird so plump yet it can just perch on the plant like that. Also love the vibrant colours of these photos. Wonderful job :-D

Hi Sonjia!
Quite colourful and good-looker, and a pretty creature to lok at- besides being good company to have around you.
And it looks just great in this photo you`ve taken.
Have a good week.

Wow, looking very green for February.......

Great photos. I love this bird.
Congrats
