It is one thing to spot a sparrow and yet another thing to get its photograph! The sparrow is known for its quick movements and fluttering habit. This is the best of the blurred pictures I have been able to get so far.
Most sparrows would escape our attention or would fly away at the sight of people and other birds, except the sparrows who are habituated around homes, restaurants or parks.
I am fond of the sparrows for several seasons. They are small and elegant to watch. The sparrows are fast disappearing from the usual places they used to be found due to rapid urbanisation and industrialisation. The sparrows need protection and special attention for their survival. Although the sparrows are most vulnerable to all the environmental changes, there is hardly any attention given to make their survival easier, except in some places where the environmentalists have been encouraging volunteers to have bird houses in trees in their garden. There have been some responders.
The sparrows are the marginalised and forgotten birds. They need attention just as the marginalised human beings need special attention!
