    That's a House sparrow, also known as English sparrow. (Juvenile...?)

    Nice timing. Did you fire off a burst, and got this shot? Amazing how showing a common bird in an interesting pose makes a good photo, well done!

    Re: Hopping Along

    I shot this in burst mode. I was trying to catch something else actually :blush2:

    With good reflex and timing I guess it's possible to get a shot like this even shooting in single shot mode.

    Thanks folks !
