Blackbird and sparrow feeding on elderberries. Unfortunately a very blurred photo 🙁 because of the distance.

Sat this morning with a cup of tea watching these sparrows do my gardening for me. Like most colleagues they get along just fine apart from the odd spat.
This is why I love to leave lots of areas in the garden untouched. After the pollinators are done with the flowers, and I’ve taken some seeds for next year, the birds get their time. Precious nature. #SilentSunday #birds #sparrows #BirdWatching #nature #garden #ecosystem #wildlife

Exciting work from Chloe Mikles' undergraduate thesis is finally out in
conservation genetics! Chloe sequenced whole genome sequences from 39 Song Sparrows in the San Francisco Bay Area
to explore the genetic basis of local adaptation and adaptive capacity among the 5 subspecies
found in the region.
Evolutionary divergence and adaptive capacity in morphologically distinct song sparrow subspecies

Weird absence of #sparrows
and other birds noted today. I put out food this morning at 0700 - it's 1411 and it's almost untouched. I haven't seen the farm cat about at all. I wonder if the sparrowhawk has returned? Or maybe my neighbour fed them today :)
I've seen a pigeon, and heard some corvids... but the small birds have deserted me. Bizarre.
Does sparrow behaviour include sudden mass migrations to new territories?
Please feed me!

Some #photos from my husband's Saturday afternoon #walk near our home in eastern #Dundee, #Scotland. These are just a few of many birds he saw today, both on his walk out and in the Dighty Burn wooded river valley. #Monifieth #BroughtyFerry #Angus #Countryside #Nature #Photographs #Rural #Birdstodon #Birds #Birding #BirdPhotographs #BirdingPhotographs #Sparrows #Gulls #JuvenileBirds #WoodPigeons #Viaducts #RailwayHistory #UrbanNature #CityWildlife

An unexpected discovery I made after feeding #crows in the park for a month, testing to see if they would recognize me and start approaching me, is that #sparrows will also do just that. In fact, compared to crows, who remain aloof and standoffish even when they've become acquainted with you, sparrows are positively effusive. No coyness, no excessive pride — when they see you, they come right away. Not only that but they recognize me even with sunglasses on. Crows don't seem to. #birds

I have the cutest sparrow fledgling hanging out in my back garden. It has to fear, no awareness, no flock. I can walk right up to it, it’ll look at me and keep on munching on the bird table or pottering around on the grass. Then it flies behind the shed or onto my roof until it’s peckish again Can birds be deaf? I’m turning into it’s bodyguard to stop it being predated. Slight obsession and not sustainable. What should I do? @RSPBEngland #birdsofmastodon #sparrows
This is Eugene. Eugene is a regular finch*, but his eyebrows** are magnificent. Snack away, Eugene!
*TIL these little dudes are finches, not sparrows. Edited for accuracy!
** I know birds don’t have eyebrows. Let me have this fantasy, and also he is named for Eugene Levy, patron saint of magnificent eyebrows.
