It looks a lot like the House Sparrow we have millions of here...and I mean millions in my yard! LOL. Excellent shot, Biff.

Along railway embankments? I dunno 'bout the future of that dunnock...

Nice one though, Count B...

Sparrows are a dime a dozen in these parts, Count B. Good shot of the pesky bird.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Ah and a sweet looking fellow he is. More colorful than our sparrows. Good lens that.

I have not heard of a Dunnock before, neither did I know there were different 'sparrers'
Very nice photo of this pretty wee fellow with his natural habitat as background.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
