Description This sparrow gave me a rather coy look, as if he had just been carrying some coconuts.

He looks a bit nervous as if he wanted to bite you to death ^^
But he's still cute, though in a bit mirbid way.
Great sharpness, how do U achieve it?

"A swallow carry a coconut!?"
"It could grip it by the husk!"
"It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut."
Great shot!

I had a feeling you would

This reminds me of when I was in high school. I rarely paid attention in class and when a teacher would call on me and I had no clue what the question was I would say, "Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government."

A sparrow! I love those little guys!

I really like the sharpness and simplicity of the shot, especially the detail of his eye. Incredible!

(I assume it's a male, judging by the markings).

If it carried coconuts, it would have to be African, but it looks European
