A lovely ode to sparrows, and a sad one. The world seems to be ending right now. Sparrows always felt so commonplace you know, and there's other rarer prettier birds to take our attention but the sparrow is also beautiful in its own right. My father in law, who is an avid bird watcher and a member of RSPB in England, loves the sparrow most of all. Here it is other native birds that are endangered - we plant for them and leave water out.

Tagging @fotostef and @clareartista for this one, who gifted me their own bird stories this week.
