Fledgling House sparrows
It been an awfully wet Bank holiday Monday, so stuck in-doors most of the day.
I was in the kitchen putting the coffee machine on, while filling the jug at the window I spotted these young Sparrows in the tree. So I rushed up stairs and got the camera and took a few quick shots through the double glazing.

Thanks for all the comment everyone.
It was quite funny really the 300mm lens & camera combo are so heavy, after a few minutes I ended up resting my elbow on an upside down pickle jar on the draining board to steady my self.

Nice one Ken. If you had said you was shooting through a window I wouldn't have know.
