kylie from Shanghai, China
He doesnt seem to be frightened of you, rather he seems to be staring you down! Wonderful capture of such a pretty little chap!

@kylie: he wasn't scared at all Probably took it lying on my stomach and he was curious as opposed to scared

I wondered where all my sparrows had gone ! I never see one in my part of London, now . . something changed and they are gone. Much missed.

@Ronnie 2¢: hehehe now you know. Actually at one stage in NZ their numbers were quite diminished by some disease and it was easier to see a dead one than a live one. Luckily they are back in force. but I wonder if that is whats happened to yours
