House Sparrow

In The Hedge. Unlike the last two years we have had dozens of house sparrows in our garden. Using the hedge for a safe refuge as they make use of our feeders.

Super details, a very nice Sparrow shot.
We have seen a similar increase in House Sparrow numbers this year - they are deceptively quick and seem to know when you are about to press the shutter button!
