MRS HOUSE SPARROW

[Mallory]

Fantastic details!

[Helen Jane]

Such a perfectly presented specimen. You get in so close with these birds that I see features that I never realised were there - like the overlapping beak for example, on this sparrow.

[Graham Harcombe]

Superbly focused shot.

I wonder how we know this is a Mrs. ? Is there some identifying marking? I’m trying to learn more about birds.

@jb030958 Thank You, Jennie. Yes, male and female House Sparrows are quite easy to tell apart given a reasonable view of them.
Easiest might be to click on these two links.....in the first the male is on the right. In the second one there is only a male.....
