Feed me! Two House Sparrows (Passer domesticus) perched closely on a wooden post. The bird on the left is standing upright and looking directly at the camera, while the one on the right is slightly leaning in, possibly a juvenile fledgling soliciting food. Their brown, beige, and chestnut plumage is softly illuminated, and the blurred green background suggests a garden or park habitat.
Shot at Lochmaben in Scotland, UK.

Another unexpected visitor on the terrace today (there sure is a lot going on here although it's still under construction and pretty bare): a young #sparrow!

Don't know if it collided with the window and was a bit dazed or just hot and needed a break from learning to fly and feed itself. It didn't move and we could have touched it. We put some water and mealworms next to it. Don't know if it took any, when I checked half an hour later, it was gone (hopefully not with the help of a friendly cat 😅).

You can see it's a juvenile because the bill (or rather gape flange) is still yellowish. Adult #sparrows have dark bills.

A detailed close-up shows a small, brown house sparrow fledgling with a light brown breast and head, and dark brown and black striped wings. It is perched on a light grey stone or concrete surface, looking to its left. Two small, reddish-brown mealworms are visible on the ground near its feet. The background is a soft blur of similar grey tones.

Swede’s Photographs

Rust-Crowned Sentinel

Every time I spot a chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina), its subtle earth-toned plumage and rust-colored cap remind me of military camouflage—giving these little birds an unexpectedly rugged appearance. During the winter and early spring, they seemed to be everywhere, their numbers in the hundreds. Now, only a handful remain, occasionally seen foraging on the ground. I read that their diet shifts with the seasons, transitioning from seeds in the colder months to insects in the warmth of spring and summer.

If you enjoy photos of birds and other wildlife, take a look at my photo gallery. Sparrows are never overlooked—they're a valued and important part of my collection. Feel free to explore!

"This chipping sparrow sits with quiet dignity on a slender branch, its small frame a study in subtle beauty. A rich, rust-colored cap crowns its head, contrasting with the crisp white stripe above its eye—like an artist’s deliberate brushstroke. Its body is dressed in muted grays and soft browns, delicately streaked to blend effortlessly with the woodland shadows. The sparrow’s beak, sharp and precise, catches the light as it angles slightly to the right, appearing both alert and at ease. Surrounding the bird, a web of blurred branches and earthy tones forms a gentle backdrop, accentuating the sparrow’s presence without distraction. The lighting embraces the fine textures of its feathers, giving them a soft yet detailed radiance, as if nature itself has paused to admire this quiet moment." - Copilot
