House Sparrow
Black and White Day 2 of 5
Day 90 / 365
This little guy was bullying all the other birds today. So small yet so feisty.
Interesting Fact: The House Sparrow takes frequent dust baths. It throws soil and dust over its body feathers, just as if it were bathing with water. In doing so, a sparrow may make a small depression in the ground, and sometimes defends this spot against other sparrows. ( http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/House_Sparrow/lifehistory )
I was challenged by Cynthia at http://cynthiamvoss.wordpress.com/ to take up the Black and White 5-Day Challenge. Part of the fun is to nominate another blogger, one on each day.
Today, I nominate Maggie of https://magscorner.wordpress.com/ Maggie, if you accept, the goal is to post one B&W photo each day for five days, and to nominate a fellow blogger each day to join in.
There is no pressure to accept this challenge. It’s just for fun! 🙂
Through Open Lens 
Nice, our sparrows come second to weavers, who refers to rock pigeons, they dominate, but I am starting to see that various species feed at various times, late last evening, when all was gone, little waxbills fed. Nice fact about dust.
Thank you for sharing your experience with me, I love observing birds and seeing how they act. Thank you for stopping by. 🙂
Me too.

Beautiful B&W of the little House Sparrow. This challenge sounds like a lot of fun and I appreciate you thinking of me. My life is just so busy right now I do not have the time to add anything to it. Thank you so much for the mice compliment on my bird pictures. I am not a photographer so the compliment coming from you means a lot to me. I really enjoy taking pictures when I can grab a few minutes to do so. Thanks again. Hugs Maggie

One of my favourite birds – they’re such great characters!
Yes they are, I appreciate you stopping by and enjoying my work. 🙂
this one certainly needs to diet a little bit?!!!
Hahaha. Maybe if he stops bullying other birds and eating their food, he will be a little bit slimmer. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. Happy Blogging! 🙂
