SMaP 112 - Sparrows

Thanks to @nelinoeva for the contest. You can find the rules and announcement here.
And the theme of this week was - Sparrows.

House sparrows, which we are used to seeing in the courtyards of the streets, are not so interesting to me. But interest arises in their wild counterparts. So, in front of you is a The Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus).

These sparrows live on the outskirts of the city as well as in the villages. With the arrival of cold weather in autumn, they can fly into city parks, as well as join a flock of house sparrows.

They are distinguished by a brown cap on their heads, as well as white cheeks on which there is a black spot. Well, their plumage itself is more saturated and contrasting.

Here you see how a young yellowmouth sparrow learns life from an adult. They're looking around the river bank, and they're probably looking for little pebbles they swallow. Grain-eating birds need this so that solid plant foods are ground in the stomach.

As you know, sparrows live in large flocks. Therefore, photographing one bird separately is not easy. We need to track down the one who separated from the pack.
