House Sparrow (Male)

Took this shot this morning through double glazing. Everywhere was covered in snow, so I thought it would be nice to try and capture a little Robin on the snow, but I had to settle for this little chap as the robin would not pose for me

Thanks Phil. I always make sure I focus on or around the eyes, and shooting at f5.6 at such close range, there is no way to get all the bird in focus , which I might have prefered,but the light was poor as well.
