Lovely little bird, great to see it fluffed up ......Cracking detail here Mr A.
 
Excellent close-up, Adrian; great detail and setting. I'm bound to have said it before; but there was a flock at my local reservoirs for years, but they just disappeared over 30 years ago. Nobody seems sure why they died out, but there's been none there since
 
A lovely well detailed close up view. There's certainly plenty of them at this location, especially now they've bred. There's been dozens of them around this week.
 
Beautiful Tree Sparrow portrait, Adrian! They seem to be doing well here in Sweden.
