Photo shows a eurasian tree sparrow on a thin (maybe 4-5 mm thick). The bird is between the two rightmost thirds of the picture, body facing towards the camera but the head looking toward the left side of the frame. The sun is providing a warm light from somewhere to the rear right of the photographer (me). Even though the photo was taken around 15:00 CET, due to the time of year the sun wasn‘t high up in the sky.

Every now and then I get around taking photos of birds in my in-law‘s garden. Two weeks ago I managed to catch this eurasian tree sparrow during his short stop-over near a feeder. I was told it‘s too cold and windy to sit outside and wait for birds. But that […]

A #EurasianTreeSparrow.

Nov 2025 in Japan #birds #birdnerd #birdphotography

A Eurasian Tree Sparrow perched on a thin, leafless branch, its feathers fluffed up. The bird faces slightly to the right, with a soft, blurred background in muted tones. 細い葉のない枝にとまるスズメ。体の羽毛を膨らませており、やや右向きの姿勢。背景は落ち着いた色合いで大きくぼけている。

For once, I’m sharing this shot uncropped—rare for me! Not cutting corners though, I promise 😊🪶
日中は春の陽気ですが朝はまだ冷えるのでスズメもモフモフですね❤️

A Eurasian Tree Sparrow perched on a thin leafless branch. The bird is facing left, showing its chestnut-brown head, black bib, and patterned brown wings. Several bare twigs partially overlap the bird in the foreground. 細い落葉した枝にとまるスズメ。左向きで、栗色の頭部や黒い喉元、茶色の模様のある翼が見える。手前の複数の枝が一部重なって写っている。

Met this sparrow in an unusual spot for me. It seemed a little less cautious than usual 😅

A close-up photo of a Eurasian Tree Sparrow perched on a thin branch in winter. The bird has fluffed-up pale brown and gray plumage, a chestnut-brown cap, and a nearly all-black bill. Frost can be seen on the branch. 冬の枝にとまるスズメのクローズアップ写真。体をふくらませた淡い茶色と灰色の羽毛、栗色の頭頂、ほぼ黒一色の嘴が見える。枝には霜が付着している。

A sparrow whose bill used to show some yellow has now turned almost completely black. The reason behind this change isn’t fully understood yet 🤔

A Eurasian Tree Sparrow perched on a thin branch, with fluffed-up body feathers and slightly puffed cheeks, photographed in soft morning light against a smooth, blurred background. 細い枝にとまるスズメ。体の羽毛をふくらませ、頬もやや膨らんだ姿で、柔らかな朝の光の中、背景が大きくぼけた状態で撮影されている。

It was a slightly warmer morning, but this sparrow kept its fluffy feathers — and stayed irresistibly cute ❤️

Three sparrows sitting on a flat hand rail. The rail runs from the lower left corner to the middle of the frame, and then turns and runs straight to the back of the frame. The sparrows are sitting on the bend in the rail. One sparrow is looking directly at the camera, and the two others are further back and facing to the right. The sparrows have a light-brown belly and brown striped back and wings. The top of the head is a grayish brown, and the face is black and white. Black around the eyes and under the beak, and a black spot on either cheek. The background is blurry and various colors and shapes.

A Eurasian Tree Sparrow perched on a frost-covered branch, with its wings partially spread and its body appearing rounded. Another sparrow is partially visible in the background. 霜の付いた枝にとまるスズメ。翼を少し広げた姿勢で、体は丸く見える。背景には別のスズメが一部写っている。

A Eurasian Tree Sparrow briefly flutters its wings, captured in a fleeting moment that looks charming. Its belly appears softly rounded. 😍🪶

Zoom sur un toit de cheminée, sur lequel se trouvent deux petits moineaux friquets. Le moineau le plus à gauche est en train de faire sa toilette en fouillant dans les plumes de son dos avec son bec. Le moineau le plus à droite est en train de bondir en direction de l'autre. La photo l'a capturé en l'air, les ailes fermées et le dos bien droit, on dirait qu'il lévite. L'ensemble est éclairé par les rayons dorés du soleil levant sur la gauche de l'image. Le ciel est clair, sans nuage, d'un bleu très clair tirant sur le jaune.

A Eurasian Tree Sparrow perched on a thin branch covered with fresh snow. The bird is fluffed up, facing slightly to the left, with brown and buff plumage, a chestnut crown, and a black cheek spot. The background is softly blurred with snow-covered branches. 雪の積もった細い枝にとまるスズメ。羽毛をふくらませ、やや左向きの姿勢で、茶色と淡褐色の体色、栗色の頭頂、頬の黒斑が見える。背景には雪をまとった枝がぼけて写っている。

It snowed so much today—honestly, more than I wanted ☃️
Not looking forward to shoveling it tomorrow 😩

The birds were extra photogenic one morning as I got great views of this #GreyHeron (so pensive), #EurasianTreeSparrow (so zen), and #EasternSpotBilledDuck (so coy).

Un moineau friquet de trois-quarts face. Il se tient dans une coupelle en terre cuite contenant un peu d'eau. Il a gonflé les plumes de son ventre et bombe un peu le torse en tournant la tête dans la direction de l'objectif, ce qui lui donne l'air d'un Aldo Maccione à plumes. Derrière lui, on voit un pot de fleurs en terre cuite rectangulaire d'où dépassent quelques brins d'herbe verte. L'oiseau est éclairé par les rayons du soleil sur sa droite et son ombre est projetée dans la coupelle. L'ambiance est ensoleillée, colorée et contrastée.

Ce moineau friquet me fait penser à un petit papi grognon "d'mon temps l'eau était moins froide!"

A Eurasian Tree Sparrow perched on a bare branch, facing slightly downward. The bird has a rounded body with fluffed feathers, a pale underside, a brown crown, and distinct dark patches around the eyes and on the throat. Thin branches partially cross in front of the bird, and the background is softly blurred. 葉のない枝にとまるスズメ。体は丸く羽毛がふくらみ、下面は淡い色合い。頭頂は茶色で、目の周囲と喉元に濃い色の斑が見える。細い枝が鳥の手前を横切り、背景はぼけている。
