The Humble Sparrow, a bird that is now on the red list. I don't recall any threads our photo's of these delicate little birds.
I took a few photo's of these often taken for granted beautiful little birds, I have a flock of about a dozen that come every day.
Thought I would share the experience of my flock with you all.
Male House Sparrows are easily recognised by their grey crowns and variably-sized black bibs but females might be more difficult. However, nearly all the other dull brown birds with thick, conical bills have streaked rather than plain underparts.

Just read all of this thread- agree with MarJus, they are super photos, everyone!
I've always loved these cheeky little birds, & at first, a couple of years ago, thought that perhaps it was just our local population that was declining: then I read that it was a nationwide thing. This I find so very sad, as when I was a child they were definitely the most common garden bird, & even a couple of years ago there were still plenty of them chirping away in every bush, it seemed. Now, in the last few summers, I have noticed how few there seem to be and its such a shame. I always try to encourage them to feed & just wish we could do more to help stop this decline. (I am in N. West England).
