So yeah, went to St Ives again today in order to do shoot. My main object was to include people in my photography to fulfil my project brief, which is to show the relationship the monogamous little sparrows have with us as human beings. They live amongst us more than any other wild bird making them dependant on our existence. However the paradox was that there were far too many people in my way, uncontrollable children screaming, people with their dogs off their leads etc... thus scaring off every bird in sight .... annoying. Also to top it off the weather stayed murky and cloudy which didn't make my images look attractive. But hey ho ... there's always tomorrow. Here's a few 'nothing special' snaps:
House Sparrows often find good nesting homes in crack and crevices of buildings.
The Starlings (Sturnidae) are darling little birds that are also sadly on the red list, exactly like the House Sparrow. They have a very unique clicking call along with a high pitch tweet, which is very distinctive. They're very beautiful upfront with the most gorgeous metallic plumage, similar to that of the Feral Pigeon (Columbia livia domestica).
