Sorry! On other hand you are hardly the first (neither the last) one! We (the birders I mean) don't pay only for the gear... On other hand the bird on your photo is not the regular (and the same in so many continents!) House Sparrow - you got the Tree Sparrow! These are getting rare and rare in Europe: I remember times when they were much more common (yeah...and I was much younger)

I flew a total distance of 565.38 km (351.31 mi) to take a photo of a bird I see 5 meters away daily.
Thank you

That is one plus to this Bird Portraits , you never know what bird you might see and everybody always tries to post their favorites. Thanks Alan!Gorgeous - one sight we are guaranteed not to have in my part of the world.
I agree that you never know what bird you might see but I'm posting what I got in that particular day (best shots off course but they are usually pretty much the same - very hard to make a difference (every thing is the wind and the resulting light on the bird when it is under the canopy).That is one plus to this Bird Portraits , you never know what bird you might see and everybody always tries to post their favorites.
