Male House Sparrow

What a bloomin' cold day it is! Stood outside in just a t-shirt and cardy for about half an hour and I thought no way I'm going to have to put a coat on. Freezing! Anyway, this House Sparrow was among a group hanging around the cut branches of the berberis and so I sneaked up and got a photo. I also managed to get a shot of Robin at the mealworms. He tends to grab a single worm and then land in the border to eat it (unfortunately one time a female Blackbird noticed him and then stole one of his worms :()

I then put the bowl on the ground and sat on the seat for a little while, but it was far too cold so I came inside. As soon as I looked out the Starlings had descended in a large flock and gobbled all the rest of the mealworms.
