Sparrow, Sparrow on the wall!

What are you doing?

This little Sparrow has just succeeded in catching an insect from our house wall. If you look in large you can see it's legs and wings in it's mouth.

I had just popped out of the kitchen and saw it hopping about in the wall above the door.
I have never seen this before and went in to get my camera. It was very busy flitting about but I managed to get about half a dozen reasonably clear shots.

Chris said it was looking for insects and sure enough when I downloaded them this one clearly showed the captured booty. I had just been debating whether to go out to search for a blip when out popped this opportunity. Another surprise bird shot. Good job really as the rain is back with a vengeance.

It is a bit difficult to tell it is on the pebble dashed wall but you can see it more clearly in these two shots:
