    Lots of Tree Sparrows around, really nice to see them, as I've never spotted one locally.

    The first picture shows an adult with fledgling.

    The fledgeling on the first one looks like he's blushing.. except for the fact that the patch is not red

    The sad thing is that we probably both have seen loads of them in our youth Beryl, but didn't realise it then.

    Love that pic with the adult and fledgling, Rolf!

    It's one of the best bird pics I've seen for ages - luck, of course?
