Information on working terriers, dogs, natural history, hunting, and the environment, with occasional political commentary as I see fit. This web log is associated with the Terrierman.com web site.
Just a House Sparrow or English sparrow -- very common bird here and over there. Passer domesticus. I have written a bit about their history here >> http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2006/02/sparrows-with-wine-colored-heads.html
Truthfully, I call all the birds in the hedeg "LBJs" -- litttle brown jobs. The females are particularly hard to tell apart, and in the world of finches there's always a bit of hybridization going on. But these were house sparrows of the most common sort.

What are they Patrick? North American Sparrows?
