View Full Version : Early morning breakfast
this chappy was frustrating all the birds this morning and when he finally caught up with one of the little tree sparrows he chose our back garden to have his snack LOL
(P.S if you look closely you'll see his breakfast is still in his talons)
Any ideas what he is?

beaut pic, result!
No wonder sparrows are an endangered species these days!
How did you manage to take a pic that close without him flying off. Or do you have a decent lens on your camera?
Btw good pic.
