Ok, so I'm a bit taken with the sight of House Sparrows at the moment but remember they are new birds to me as we never saw any in 9 years at our old place so the camera has been working overtime since the youngsters arrived !
Here's a candidate for most beautiful Baby 2020 ! ............. doing its best impression of a Wren
and the mother's having a parents meeting !
how cute is this lQQk lol
siblings ......
Making the most of a sunny day and more House Sparrow piccies as I'll soon have to say goodbye to them when we move. Each morning they see me come down the stairs through the large courtyard front door window and start lining up for the mealworms and waxworms which won't last until Wednesday's next delivery. They will sit on the door handle and do their best to attract your attention lol How can you refuse these charming birds ……
they often wait on the sun loungers lol
I have taken far too many photos so will leave it at this for now and perhaps add a few more another time.

Well, if you're forcing them to wait a) they may as well make themselves comfortable - I imagine them sitting there, ordering a round of pina coladas with their mealies - and b) you obviously need to hurry up!! No doubt they'll miss you when you move!
That family album is growing nicely. Lovely photos Hazel.
Adding a few more pics from today to this original thread as it is same House Sparrow species and helps keeps another new post clogging up main page list
maybe next should be on bad pics but I liked the wings !!
the next three pics are not the best but it was to show you a bit of an altercation between two males ............ handbags at dusk !
I only had a second or two to take these pics in rapid succession as it kicked off in the corner of the courtyard wall
bit of a wing slap !!
and left hand Sparrow decided enough was enough and flew off …………..
Ouch, some fisty cuffs there I would say or should it be wingy cuffs!! Nice photos, glad that you have at last got your sparrows.
