Super Moon glow
Another photo from this week’s ‘supermoon’ today. The cloud obscured most of the moon, which resulted in a particularly picturesque view! The sky looks an orangey brown behind the clouds, and if you look closely you can just make out the edge of the moon in the centre of the photo. #30dayswild

Posing Goldfinch
While the House Sparrows were hogging the bird bath, this Goldfinch sat on the edge of the Ornamental Quince. He seemed to be pretending not to pay any attention to them, but almost looked like he was watching the water flying out of the corner of his eye. #30dayswild

Sparrow Feather Details
You don’t normally get to see the back of a House Sparrow in any great detail – invariably when they do sit still, they’re facing the camera! This one chose to turn its back on me, which gave a fantastic view of the feather details down its back (I’m not certain if this was a male…

Caption the Sparrow!
There’s something about this photo that is crying out for a caption – just what is the House Sparrow on the left saying? #30dayswild

Synchronised Sparrows

Soggy Sparrows
Not content with letting the Blackbird hog the bird bath, the House Sparrows insisted on having a turn. They rarely bathe solo, with up to seven birds sitting in the bath at the same time! #30dayswild
