I just went for a walk today and suddenly I hear a cheerful chirping in the bushes. These sparrows are arranged in a friendly flock and are talking to each other. I was delighted, birds are rarely seen near the house.
The sparrows chirped so loudly among themselves, rejoicing at the good weather, the bright spring sun, that they could be heard from afar.
As soon as I stopped, started to get the camera, almost the whole flock immediately flew away. Only some sparrows remained and they began to hide from me - they fly farther from branch to branch. But I managed to take pictures anyway, no matter how far they got. Not the best photo quality, but how it turned out.
How did this handsome man with a gray fluffy chest not want to be photographed. He curled up in a ball so as not to see me. But I saw him.
How funny the sparrow hid behind a branch. He thinks that here I won’t get it with a lens. Sparrows got tired of my attention, and the latter flew away. And I went on.
Today I met sparrows in three places. This rarely happens. And each time they began to hide, to fly away, as soon as they noticed my attention. These two, in the photo above and below, were not close to get close. Melted snow interfered, which turned into a large puddle. Yes, and the sparrow flew to the opposite side from me, as soon as I pointed the lens at it.
That's how I circled around the bush, trying to photograph the sparrow. And he responded to me by chirping or talking with a friend in his bird language.
Parted with some sparrows, met a little further with others. And the same story repeated itself. Some of the sparrows immediately flew away as far as possible. The remaining birds began to hide from me. But I am patient, and I like to watch birds.
What a proud fluff! I'm tired of him with my attention. Defiantly turned away. But for me the main thing is that didn’t have time to hide behind a branch.
This one turned away, clearly ignoring me.
These are the three meetings I had today with sparrows in different places. It is a pity that on the way back I did not see a single sparrow.
