There was such a hullabaloo in the bushes it sounded like something was being murdered. Then out came a flock of about ten sparrows, all male chasing after a female. Obviously she was ready for breeding and each male wanted to make sure that he was the one that caught her.
Today's photo of the day.
A male House Sparrow.
One of the male sparrows giving chase decided he wasn't going to catch the female stopped to rest, when he saw another female he began to display himself, his tail went up in the air, his tail feathers spread out and he bobbed up and down, then the chase began. As soon as some other male realised what was happening they joined in the chase, over the garden over the school wall and away to who knows where.
It made me tired just watching.
Until tomorrow...
