Alone against the receding tide. A sparrow pauses for rest.

A vertical fine-art landscape photograph capturing a low-tide shore rendered in an olive, moss-green color palette. A sequence of dark, angular boulders encrusted with vibrant green moss forms a natural diagonal line through the wet sand, leading upward from a triangular stone anchored in the foreground. Perched atop the largest mossy boulder mid-frame, a small sparrow stands alert against the wet shore, scanning the exposed mudflats left behind by the retreating water. The wet, textured sand stretches into the distance, dotted with pebbles and tidal detritus under flat, overcast light. The photographic intent balances heavy, weathered coastal geology with a delicate spark of life, using the rhythmic placement of the stones to contrast the enduring weight of the shore with the fleeting presence of the small bird.

Sentinel and shelter. 🌾🐦❄️

One sparrow keeping sharp watch from the high twig, while the rest settle into the soft winter blur below. A study in optical depth for #BirdOfTheDay and #BokehBirds.

A close-up winter bird photograph featuring house sparrows perched among bare, thorny brambles with a shallow depth of field. One sparrow is in sharp, crisp focus high on an upper branch, showing detailed brown and cream feather patterns. Below, other sparrows nestle within the brush in soft focus, set against a creamy background of melted snow and soft, circular bokeh light discs.

With neither house nor land,
Yet every creature brings me joy—
Even the sparrow, that rascal.”

Male house sparrow sitting on a bramble branch. Winter in Conneticut by the seashore. I am but a humble scribe, With neither house nor land, Yet every creature brings me joy— Even the sparrow, that rascal. He builds his nest in haste and haste From feathers, hair, and straw; He thinks it serves the purpose well— Beauty matters not a whit. When feed is scattered for the hens, He promptly joins the fray, To snatch a kernel—clever, quick, And bustling all the way. He loves the May-bug dearly, And knows just how to dine; He pecks the wings, he nips the legs, And cracks them like almonds. In the cherry tree, he slyly feasts Upon the fruit's sweet flesh; And so, the tree's proud owner finds The finest pits remain. A shot rings out. The sparrow flees And preens his ruffled plumes. He may stay gone for now, perhaps, But tomorrow he’ll return. And when it’s winter, and the snow Has blanketed the roofs, No proper sparrow starves to death— He knows the holes up there. I called: "Come, sparrow, let me feed you!" He fixed a sharp eye on me. He seemed to think that I, too, Was good for nothing much.

A lovely #spatz lady stayed a moment today .. as did Wren and a flock of Goldfinches but they were on speed.

Lady #sparrow would have none of that speed stuff & took her time in the lovely September sunshine.

“Let’s go, NOW!”
“Why?”
“ I don’t know I think I heard something…”

A cropped, abstract motion-blur photograph of two small birds caught mid-flight against the soft-focus lines of a house porch. Feathers and wings dissolve into expressive, painterly sweeps of dark movement against a muted background.

Took my new Canon Rebel out in April, hated every minute, and wrote off the shoot. Yesterday I dug into the folder and found this gem. Don't count the camera out yet!

Wildlife photograph of a male house sparrow perched delicately on a leafy, diagonal branch in early spring. The bird is captured in sharp profile, featuring its distinct slate-gray crown, deep chestnut eye band, and bold black bib. Fresh green and copper-tipped leaves frame the bird naturally along the woody branch. In the background, open water appears as a smooth, softly blurred expanse of muted silver and cool gray tones, providing natural optical depth and isolation for the perched songbird.

Good morning everyone 🌎 ⚘️🍂🪶

Das Werk hinterfragt Totholz durch eine temporäre Kugelform. Ein stiller, leicht aufgeplusterter Protest.

The work questions deadwood through a temporary sphere. A silent, mildly fluffed protest.

2/2 und die Gruppe schlussendlich kollabiert. Fällt eine Spatzenkolonie unter kritische Mindestgröße, verliert sie ihre wichtigsten Überlebensstrategien. Das Spatzensterben ist eine Abwärtsspirale. Ist die Kolonie erst einmal zu klein, bricht sie unaufhaltsam in sich zusammen. #Spatz

Nicht nur in Berlin, auch bei uns sind zwei große Kolonien verschwunden.
Es ist sehr ruhig geworden in der Vogelwelt.
