This male sparrow stopped me in my tracks today until I raised my bins - a soggy House Sparrow rather than the Spanish Sparrow that it was impersonating... Ah well, next time maybe...
What was odd about this sighting was that I was passing a hedge where a group of House Sparrows habitually hang out and it occurred to me that I never really check them for anything rarer. First bird that popped up was this one... Only had me excited for about half a second but it was still one of those quirky moments in birding...
