You often see Sparrows hopping around supermarket parking areas and in the gutters of housing so this family of Mom, Dad and baby were very special. We had gone to photograph birds at a local Lake which is normally bone dry most years and devoid of bird life but when the rain arrives it fills and like Lake Eyre that is when the bird life arrives too although on a much smaller scale. This was a branch on the side of the road and I had been focusing on a pair of nesting Galahs in the distance when they arrived. Such delightful birds were instantly captured on camera and as there was plenty of food with the recent water they stayed awhile and studied us too. I tried to capture the light and contentment in this little group of sparrows even though they were slightly thinner than those that eat takeaway scraps in their urban environment.
