    Default A face only a mother could love.

    Rubbish quality (so I've kept it on the smaller side), but I couldn't not show you this little monster. He'd been sitting there for ages either just sitting or preening and then suddenly puffed up, made a few squawks, preened a bit more and settled down. I never confirmed why he started up.. but he sure looked a fright doing it!

    He's being really RUDE, Louise!

    Is he a young House Sparrow? Looks as if he's eaten for 10 there!

    Sorry Catherine - I should have mentioned (let's face it - in that state it's not easy to spot) - yes, it's a young sparrow.
    It's amazing how fluffed up he is. He was preening earlier and looked a lot slimmer. See, it's true - some people only have to look at food and gain ten pounds
