A house sparrow looks like it's caught itself a small winged beetle of some kind. The bird itself appears to be missing part of its leg too 😔

I'm growing to really like the lens, and bird photography!

I went out for one last attempt as the sun went down, got a few keepers I think. These five shots tell a lil story.

Hopefully pick up some more variety tomorrow as we're going to visit a couple of bird watching areas ☺️
