Default House Sparrows

During the last weekend I decided to photo-hunt sparrows in may backyard. This turned out a tricky task. These little birds move really fast and are difficult to catch. I made a bird feeder and an improvised tent to get closer to the action. After about 200 shots, these are the keepers.

My turn!

Obviously, your patience paid off well. Nice capture.
