Description
Photograph of a male house sparrow sitting on a fence on a windy day near Winchester in Hampshire in the south of England UK.
I regularly visit wildlife parks to photograph reference for my drawings and paintings, and a nice bonus to these visits is that wild birds can often be seen too! This sparrow was flitting around the hedgerows around an enclosure, he momentarily perched on the fence and I was able to capture this lovely moment with the grass behind giving a vibrant green background.
The house sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a common small garden bird found in many parts of the world, but they are native to Europe. Males, as seen here, have brighter colours with black, white and brown markings, females are a pale golden brown and grey, they have a grey breast with brown wing feathers.
