Last month the house Sparrows brought their latest Fluffers here for a Photo-feed. Most pictures I've lost however, don't ask me how! So here are a couple of others. The other birds like the Great Tit and Blue Tit never sit still long enough. Where the Robin has hid its young is an enigma.
This picture is of the juvenile House Sparrows bing fed by their dad. Columnist Dick Warner mentioned that he only saw female house Sparrows feed their young. he wondered if this was a trend among the House Sparrows. In fact, this is the first year that the majority of the Fluffers are being fed by mum Hse. Sparrow.
A lot of noise meant that the Pied Wagtails, Motacilla alba were here with juvie.
good capture. I too had similar experience of male sparrow feeding the juvenile! http://0ceana.blogspot.com/p/common-house-sparrow.html

ReplyDeleteWe have tree sparrows here, but no house sparrows. Oh, I got very very lucky last week. We were in Edinburgh visiting a friend and I saw a goldcrest in woodland. So TINY! Much smaller than a wren. I think it was female as the colours were rather dull. I was so excited, but it was just too tiny and too fast to photograph.
