Interview with a sparrow Photo

Photographer’s Note

Once againa photo from my little visit to Stavanger last weekend.
As I was sitting down with a friend, a few sparrows were jumping around my feet.
Amazing little creatures, sometimes so scared that you hardly need to look to make them fly away, while other times they come as close as this.

I'm currently reading the book "Interview with a Vampire" and I felt the title here would somehow fit :-)

I'm not going to waste time telling you what I know about sparrows, here is a link to wikipedia on the subject: House Sparrows

I hope you like the result.

Hi Odd Jarle,
Beautiful colors and details to this fellow of fine voice. The gray of the concrete makes a very good background to bring out the fine features of this beauty.
Regards, Tom

Hello Odd Jarle,
A cute little fellow, captured with good details in the plumage!
It is a fine composition, and I think the little guy is expecting something to eat?
Greetings,
