A Helpful Sparrow

Sparrow, port of Livorno
Quickly hopping sparrows aren't easy to catch in reasonable poses, but this one was very accommodating.

I was able to get a portrait of him against a rock and another facing the water of the harbor.

    There's always at least one in a crowd.

    Beautiful portraits. You're right, they're usually hopping all over the place. Maybe this one sensed your friendly nature and thus posed for you?

    What a sweetheart (the sparrow).

    He seems to appreciate your noticing him. Probably the first time anyone cared enough to take his picture.
