At Home

As the housework had been neglected while I was covering
the election count last weekend, I decided that I would
stay at home today and do some much needed spring
cleaning.
Luckily there was a steady stream of visitors to the
bird feeders. I liked this sparrow sitting on the garden
wall awaiting his turn while the blue tit monopolised
the seeds.

Great sharpness, tones and depth; it could almost be a stuffed model in a museum.

This is a very nice, clear and detailed photo of him. Nice to see the green moss for a little color too. Looks just like one of my sparrows, I guess everyone recognizes them. V
