Spazzer!

Our pet name for Sparrows Here's one of our resident house sparrows - was not too disappointed with this pic I rather like his fluffy feathers. Taken in a rare nanosecond of clear sky! (What you can't see from the pic is the massive bank of black cloud behind me!)

Re: Spazzer!

Woo!
Nice focus, nice contrast, fluffy birdy!
What's not to like?

Is it my imagination, or is there an air of whistfulness in the burdies eye? What has a sparrow got to be whistful at? *ah, the grain of the past, was of such mellow fruitfulness!* ?

Re: Spazzer!

Thanks Gaz - and yes, he does have a rather wistful look - perhaps it was to do with the fact that the other male sparrow he was fighting with just flew off with his missus!
