@JimsPhotos I like it sharp though. At least when it’s a photo were I’m trying to see the birds features. Maybe this is due to my own vision being blurry so if the photo is also blurry it gets double-blurred? 😅

Anyway I think the variety among treesparrows are really interesting!

@JimsPhotos Saw som tree sparrows today and were reminded of your photo.
This is not super sharp but maybe good enough for a comparision. Beak is definitely lighter and it has a yellow base.

@[email protected] Exactly! So cool!

@[email protected] Wow, looks like another bird!

@[email protected] They are just variation of color. And if understood correctly the color variations are common in Sweden and Germany? But I’m no expert either.

Here’s a link (in Swedish) to an image of the white variation.

@[email protected] They are so cool!
But I find them hard to id sometimes since there are so many variations.
Saw my first ”börringevråk”, the white variation, this winter and I was shocked. It looked like a completely different bird.

@[email protected] That’s really cool!

@[email protected] Oh right! Makes sense!
Is it a portable one or a permanent?

@[email protected] Wow! So close! Didn’t it notice you?

@[email protected] Interesting! Tree sparrows around where I live have a beak that’s more on the gray side. But this looks black to me.
And now I need to photograph one around here so I can do a proper comparison.

@[email protected] Why is the beak so dark? Is that the local variety?

@[email protected] Good choice of favourite bird!

@[email protected] So cute! I can imagine the noise!

@[email protected] Good job catching this interaction!

@[email protected] Oh, he is definitely high-ranking!

@[email protected] So this was the second one. And you managed to take a really good photo too. Nice!

@[email protected] Wow! I’ve never seen one. So cool!

@[email protected] Got it!
It does have a fun sound. I also kind of like that the drumming sounds like it needs a bit more practice.

Here we have two different green ones. Green woodpecker and Grey-headed woodpecker. Then we have the Black woodpecker and four different kinds of ”white and black” woodpecker.

@[email protected] Cool! Why a fave?

@[email protected] Always happy? 😂
