    Not the clearest shot because it was taken through a window, but the sparrows seem to be having a good year.

    Found this little one on the side of the road yesterday looking pretty distressed bouncing around the place.
    Eventually flew up to a bit of a height so reckoned it was OK.

    Any idea what it is? Some type of finch?

    Edit: Closest I can find is a zebra finch so maybe an escaped pet? Would explain how I could get so close.

    Kinda northern cardinal but not quite...and missing the crest. Maybe young?

    Are these kept in captivity?

    Edit: zebra finch apparently... probably escapee.

    Zebra Finch ok, I bred them as a boy, Must have escaped. Cant see it lasting long in the wild unfortunately

    It appears to be a reflection. I took a number of shots and dont see any ring in them. The comorant was about 80m away from me on a bright sunny day.
