Sparrows in a hedgerow

[nanila]

I went for a walk on a cold, clear, crisp morning here in the UK Midlands, and these two gave me a very thorough squiz from their vantage point above the footpath!

They see all... they know all...

Lovely pic!

And they never stop talking about it. Chatterboxes!

(Thank you.)

Thank you!

What a lovely sight - it always cheers me to see life in the hedgerows in winter.

Yes! There's a wren that lives just a little way down from us, and I love it when I catch a glimpse of it bobbing around in the branches. I have yet to get a good photo though.

We also have a wren in our hedge. I've only a slightly blurry shot of it. I put up some of those roosting nest pockets in the autumn and I think they are living in them over winter. I don't want to get too close and scare them away, but I see them hopping about near the feeding tables as well.

Wonderful photo!

Thank you! They were quite cooperative subjects, probably because of their lofty position. :)

Oh they're sweet.

(squiz! I haven't heard that one before, but it's a perfect word for what sparrows give you, hahaha.)

[nanila]

Aren't they? I like how the upper one has given his chest a little bit of extra floofing, just to make the point.
