European winter is maybe cauusing photographers (but not many of the birds) to keep warm inside
Arturo, Paco and maybe Nasos live in warmer parts of the continent and Artuto posted a lovely Sparrow image in the February daily blog
As Hugh says, the small birds often get less attention
A nice portrait of a common subject. Small birds are hard to get right I think - move too dammed fast and their size works against getting big images.
I wonder if a few of us never knew that some birds have thin, maybe tube-like feathers around their heads. Clear in the Sparrow shot.
Many years ago, I found similar things with a Finch
