Sparrows

I have found that if I walk through our local park, it will lead you up on to the South Downs. Right on our doorstep which is great as all the wildlife is great to see. Today I managed to get these two shots.

Re: Sparrows

Both are good , but second one is cracking , took these for granted when I was a kid , don`t see anywhere near as many as I used to , nice looking bird when you get to see them like this .

Thank you, I was glad that they stayed still.

Re: Sparrows

although they are both sharp with the perfect backgrounds the first does not work as well as you have no eye contact which is perfect with the second

Re: Sparrows

Agree with other comments about the second image where the head angle is perfect. Very good composition and a stunning background.
