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.
Love those pics - it looks like they are talking to each other! Maybe someone out there can suggest what they may be saying?....

I never realised 'til I saw your photo that the chattering hoard at my (too numerous!) feeders included both tree and house sparrows, so I'm appreciating them all the more now. Where I used to live we could have produced a guide to garden birds daily, we got that many varieties but here, with a wood about 100 yards away, I only see a member of the tit family occasionally. This saddens me and the cats, who are the 'aren't birds nice to watch but yukky to eat' type, I'm pleased to say. It's only because I already knew that the formally common garden birds, like the sparrows and the starlings, are now in danger that I've taken to trying to encourage them more and more. You've just given me an extra reason to watch them a bit more closely, so thanks and I hope your sparrows are enjoying your garden as much as mine seem to like this one.
Hello John,
lovely to see someone so excited about a sparrow they are wonderful birds. My garden, when i moved in had no wildlife and i was just as excited when the first snail visited and ate my runner beans! the photos are amazing! good luck with your new garden friends
regards
Robin
