These sparrows usually come in the morning. I do night shifts so I get to see them only on weekends. They come in groups or 10 or more and make a lot of sound. I have tried my best to photograph them but they fly away. By the time I adjust my camera, they are gone. They make a lot of sound and the sound reminds me of my childhood. My school had plenty of sparrows and everytime I hear their sound I go back to time. Their sound makes me very happy and everytime I hear, I want to go back to my childhood. Thanks! |
