This sparrow was truly amazing for me. Nests in this evergreen tree and does all the bug catching in the same tree. Every time he/she catches one, comes out, posing and chirping as if showing off with the catch.

Large view shows off the remains of dinner on the beak. A cracking shot Karl with loads of details... Glad it was great entertainment too.
Make your life spectacular!

Quite a different habitat than our Song Sparrows nest in :) This is quite lovely, pretty perch and nice pose with attractive colors.

Wonderful image of this little sparrow, Karl! I love everything about it. It sounds so much fun to watch - I love to see the antics of our sparrows in the garden, very entertaining - and they do a great job cleaning up the greenfly/aphids.
