OFFICE WINDOW WILDLIFE: The clumsy sparrow

I have a couple of bird feeder things hung up outside my office window, and most of the birds who use it (usually part of the burgeoning population of blue tits who hang around the garden chasing each other around in a pleasantly hooligan manner) are very graceful and daint. However there is one large and clumsy sparrow who charges at the bird feeder with all the grace and gentility of a steamroller. However, for some reason he is particularly camera shy, so - for the last week - whenever I have heard the ungainly `clunk` which means that this particular sparrow has careered into the bird feeder which has then swung wildly in mid-air and crunched against the glass of my window, I have grabbed my camera.


It took me all week to get these shots, but I am quite pleased with them..
