  1. 'Baby Bird'
    Cyanotype on watercolour paper
    Approx 25 x 15 cm

    Me and the kids found this baby sparrow, already dead, fallen from the nests under the eaves of our house.

    I always think that it's flying in this picture. One first and last flight, forever.

  2. RE: mastodon.nl/@Cambion/117308409

    The musjesmob expanded! I just counted 12 house sparrows in my backyard. Highest amount I've seen at a single time yet. Who knows how many more secret members they have 🤭.

  3. Last spring I hung a feeding house to lure some local birds. It worked well, now my garden is full of them. There are at least 11 house sparrows living in my neighbours tree that come to eat daily, as well as some great tits, blue tits, and Eurasian collared doves coming by daily.

    But now those house sparrows got a new trick. If I don't feed them, they start to attack my garden, destroying my fruit plants and their frames.

    We started to call them the "musjesmob" ("musje" is Dutch for house sparrow) as we need to pay their "protection money" to "keep our garden safe" 🤣🤣🤣.

  8. Feeder traffic at Carbery Cottage

  9. Feeder traffic at Carbery Cottage

    The feeder at Carbery Cottage Guest Lodge on the Sheep's Head is inside a rusted steel cage, so I couldn't get a single photo without bars in it. It also stops crows and larger birds getting at the food! The great tits were juveniles, still yellow in the cheek and a bit ragged about the head, and they spent more time hanging off the wire than actually feeding. One of the sparrows had a crumb of seed stuck to its beak. The goldfinch was the only bird with any real colour on it, red face, […]

  12. Silver‑Crowned Sparrow

    Male house sparrows (Passer domesticus) always make me think of little knights — wearing a silver helmet on their heads and a black gorget on their chest. They’re Old-World sparrows, and in North America some people still refer to them as English sparrows.

    If you enjoy photos of birds and other wildlife, take a look at my photo gallery. Sparrows are never overlooked—they're a valued and important part of my collection. Feel free to explore!

  13. The humble house sparrow is still one of my favourite birds. This family either moved in recently, or they didn't like the food I put up all winter, because it would sit there until it got moldy. Now I have to refill the feeders every day (There's also jackdaws raiding them, lol)

  14. Good morning. 🐦🐦🐦

    11 May 2026

    It’s early morning, and I’m typing in the dark so I don’t wake my wife. I’ve got SiriusXM running on my phone, feeding the news straight into my hearing aids. I kind of enjoy listening to Joe in the Morning while I drink my joe.

    I’ve noticed how hotel technology has changed over the decades. I remember when checking in meant filling out a little questionnaire, knowing your license plate number, and being handed an actual metal key. Checking out meant going to the front desk to settle up before you left. Then hotels started slipping the invoice under the door at dawn and charging the card you checked in with. Eventually the metal keys gave way to keycards, and now even those are shifting from the old slide‑in slots to the tap‑to‑unlock style.

    The hotel we’re in now still has the old‑fashioned slide‑in keycard reader. Maybe the tap locks won’t completely take over—kind of like how Betamax lost the war. Time will tell.

    What really surprised me at check‑in was having to sign an actual piece of paper that included the make and model of my car. I haven’t had to do that in at least a decade, and I’ve stayed at this hotel before. When I asked about it, they said it was in case something happened with the car—like if I left the lights on. It also doubled as a sort of affidavit acknowledging that the rooms are non‑smoking.

    The old saying came to mind: two steps forward, one step back.

    If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” — Bert Lance

  15. It went quite slow at first, but the last few days the #birds ate half of the food 😱.

    It's #nice 🥰. So many little birds in the backyard. Mainly #housesparrows and #greattits (we're talking birds people...). They especially like being on the inside, where they can quickly hide in the tree. The house sparrows are very careful, not letting themselves be photographed easily. But the great tits are a bit more daring.
