Image of House Sparrow Skegness.

I really like this picture, I love the detail of the sparrows eye, normally when I capture a photograph of a bird their eyes are not clearly seen, but in this piece of photography I was lucky enough to have a inquisitive male sparrow interested in what I was doing and the sun was in the right position to highlight the birds eye.

I normally take my photographs on the fly so to speak, which means I generally don’t have a tripod or hang around for the perfect picture of my subject, this can be a bit of a hit and miss approach to photography, but in the case of this male house sparrow picture it worked out fine with even the sun being in the right place at the right time :)
