Sunbathing

The weather has been so terrible around here recently that I think the sparrows welcomed a bit of sun to warm up in. This is severely cropped, so not as sharp as I might like.

This is adorable, all puffed up to let the sunshine in. Great detail.

Sparrows blend so well with winter with their brown plumage. Nice shot.

Avec ces rares apparitions, les oiseaux en profitent pour se dorer au soleil, une superbe photo! V
