When the first hot day arrived a good three weeks ago, I came across a few house sparrows at the Kellerhof in Hainhausen. After brief flights spent hunting insects, they perched in the shade, panting heavily and holding their wings away from their bodies. It was hot… for me, too.



The house sparrow. Not shy… on the contrary, quite bold. First a wild look from the bushes, then a quick hop onto the table and then ingratiating myself to get piece from my cake. Gave some nice pictures, so he got some crumbs too.
