Andrei, there is no yellow sparrow even in Europe 
. Your bird looks like European siskin (Serinus serinus) to me. I'm not 100% sure in my identification but it's definitively not Sparrow. And in my part of the world it does not exist (if an illegal cage bird escape it will make a splash in the local birder society ;D).

To think I caused this .. all in good fun and now we know. Not sure I'll be in Europe to benefit from the information though.

One more attempt to post pictures...
As I remember, my first post was about the European Golden Plover. Here is the Pacific Golden Plover. First picture is how they should look in this season. Second - breeding plumage (around Christmas?!, they are NOT suppose to look like that so late ). The third one could be very well the first documented siting (November 14/2017) of leucistic form...

OK, I have been doing this wrong way in the past :'(. Finally!
Two more in little bit less destroyed files (I will learn fast...)
Since I really enjoyed the last posted pictures of the Northern cardinal... Unfortunately my pics are not telling that much of story (except how the "winter" looks in my part of the world

Thanks Jack!
If you remember my first posts - I disclose partially my equipment. Just to "hide" it little bit (I afraid it could stir some noise) I will say that the lens is 200-500VR (OK, now everything is hidden :-X.
