Is this a sparrow???

[lucy78green]

I'm not too good at the wee brown birds, had this one coming for a few days. I couldn't tell much about it until I used the zoom function on the camera, didn't oblige me by standing too still though so the photos are blurry!

The first 3 are of a Sparrow. The 4ths too blurred to tell.

Thanks, the fourth is the same bird on the ground.

Hi Lucy

First 3 are House Sparrow, but the 4th is a Dunnock.

Thanks, I got some photos of starlings at the same time, but they also kept moving so only a couple are nice. I had a few great tits as well, but they also came out blurry. One draw back of digital cameras, they turn themselves off frequently and you have to keep resetting them so you miss the bird while you're messing with the camera!

Thanks, I don't know much about Dunnocks. I assumed it was the same as the bird on the feeder as it flew away so I thought it was the same one coming back

Must admit that was my thought - until Lucy78green said that the fourth bird was the same on the ground (meaning that too was a sparrow?)
