Sparrow

A Sparrow Couple

Common Name (Hindi): Gauraiya,Chida aur Chidiya

Clicked: February of 2006

In: West Rajasthan

Gear: Fuji Finepix S5600

   This was one of the earliest bird pic clicked by me, on a lazy winter morning, just outside on the balcony. Though it was a bird as common as a bird could be ,the House Sparrow, but I felt as if the birds were posing for a formal photo-shoot in a studio.

   I still feel, that composition wise, its one of the best bird pair pic that I have clicked. My then fiance, and now wife, couldn't stop laughing on seeing this pic, "...'cause Sparrows are so common, who clicks Sparrows, they are found everywhere, just outside the house, like you did and well even inside...".

   Ironically, who would have thought that these commonest of birds would so soon find a place in list 'Threatened Species' of WWF, India.😥😢😢

   Please spread awareness and help in getting our sparrows back. And hopefully, they will be back...
