I never ever, could see myself getting this excited about one sparrow. I mean I have a whole flock of house sparrows. Its the first I've seen in this garden. I very nearly dropped camera, that would of cost, phew!
I will not sleep tonight wondering if he will return tomorrow!
Fingers crossed
John
For viewing or photography right place right time is everything. I'd rather be in the right place with poor kit than have the best kit and be in the wrong place.
Hi John
Missed this thread somewhat. The photos of the Tree sparows are just the best.
Love the all action flight takes too, all around the feeders
I could imagine Tree sparrows on a Xmas Card any day.
Great to have then so close by, John! {thumbs up}
Regards
Kathy and Dave
wow! 7! That's great news John!!

hi John
Great to have 7 Tree Sparrows in your garden.
Please send a couple over this direction.
I am with Kathy on that - seven is just downright greedy when some of us have none. Feed them up and point them south please... ☺☺☺
The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.
The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!
Great to hear your tree sparrow success and amusing when you try and explain why this should spark excitement to people who just think of all little brown birds as 'just a sparrow'.
Hello John.
The tree sparrow pictures are wonderful. So great to see such fantastic wee birds as we don't get them where I live (near Glasgow). I didn't actually know until two and a bit years ago that there was two types of sparrow in Britain. They really are fantastic looking creatures.

Here in N Yorkshire I am pleasantly surprised when a House Sparrow joins the Tree Sparrows on my feeding station. I was over the moon when I saw my first Tree Sparrow at Bempton but now I am quite blase about them

Perhaps highlighting the concern over numbers has served to make us all pay more attention. Lets hope they are doing better now! Numbers here are the same and I still can't better three in one shot.
maybe when it gets colder!
More beautiful photos there, John. As you say, when it gets colder the activity will probably increase as I don't know about where you are but it really is quite mild most of the time here.
