Who’s a pretty birdie then?

Seen on a fence whilst on my local walks. Not sure if it is a young sparrow, or wren. I am pretty sure it was waiting here for its parents to bring it back some food. See PiP for alternative view.
Enjoy full size.

Have a great weekend. Herb

Keith Burton ^club

I'm pretty sure it's a fledgling Robin - but I'm not an expert!

These two shots are superb Herb..........perfect focus on the eye(s) and magnificent feather detail.

I especially like the image in the PiP...........it looks really surprised to be having it's photo taken and it made me smile :-)

Enjoy the rest of your day and have a lovely weekend.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thanks for this Keith. Your hints and other people's too have pointed mt to a Robin. See 2nd PiP now. Yes, the PiP is quite nice I think too.

I love the look it is giving you in the PiP Herb! Very well taken and with such lovely detail....which doesn't help identifying it. It's super cute though :-)

A great pair of images Herb, my best guess would be a very juvenile Robin, but I could quite possibly be wrong ;-))

Ich denke, Keith hat recht, es ist ein junges Rotkehlchen. Leider können wir nicht sehen, ob die Schwanzfedern hochstehen, denn dann wäre es ein Zaunkönig.
Auf jeden Fall schöne Aufnahmen, Herb!
HFF und ein schönes Wochenende!

Update picture:

Thanks Trester. Here is my other version and my conclusion too is that it is a Rotkehlchen. Very happy that you liked it.

Yes as Wilhelm points out... tail feathers are the clue for a Wren... it could be either.. nevertheless - it's a brilliant capture .. of the little guy'.... // Have a good weekend Herb - keep well - and a ''HFF'' from Dj.

All sorted now Davis. Def a Robin I think from these feathers now shown above. Glad you liked it and the puzzle.
