Picture of a Sparrow sitting on a wall, an insect in its beakA fairly common bird, but it was posing quite nicely for me. A Sparrow on a wall, I think at Kilchoman or at least somewhere in the Kilchoman area. It had just caught some insect (not sure what it was) and was still holding it in its beak.
