[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
House Sparrow

Is a member of the Old World sparrow family Passeridae. It occurs naturally in most of Europe and Asia, though it is replaced by allied forms in some areas. It has also followed humans all over the world and has been intentionally or accidentally introduced to most of the Americas, sub-Saharan Africa and Australia as well as urban areas in other parts of the world. In the United States it is also known as the 'English Sparrow', to distinguish it from native species, as the large American population is descended from birds deliberately imported from Britain in the late 19th century. They were introduced independently in a number of American cities in the years between 1850 and 1875 as a means of pest control.

Catching the sparrow is not an easy in-flight target. It took me perhaps 200 shots. This, although far from perfect, was the best of the series

Fantastic shot, Dan.
What a great moment you have caught, and with sharp details too.
Your efforts and patience really paid off.
I also like the way it is flying low over the rock.
A very unusual in-flight shot. Congratulations!
TFS. : )

Hi Dan,
A nice shot, excellent timing to catch him just taking off. Good detail and exposure. Your exposure info is wrong, it says 30 seconds exposure but the exif is right.
Cheers,
Adrian
