It is all too easy to overlook the birds we see most often, I try very hard not to do that especially remembering how thrilled I was a year or so ago to see a House Sparrow in the garden after a long absence where previously there had been so many for so long that I barely looked at them.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142825947393690787.post-80416808961182331262012-02-24T12:27:31.002+00:002012-02-24T12:27:31.002+00:00What a lovely, serene bird!What a lovely, serene bird!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481372510221914366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142825947393690787.post-10679900804995381642012-02-24T02:27:51.643+00:002012-02-24T02:27:51.643+00:00Beautiful shot, John!
