Birding is one of man's most beautiful passions. Is a hobby, but the birding hobby involves advanced knowledge about the birds life, as well as about the geography, weather, hidrology, photography, optics, etc. This blog will have the support of a very good brdwatcher and birdwatching guide, who's name I'll reveal soon, after his approval.

I'll post my birds pictures, advices about birding and some birding places in Europe. I'll try to give a short description of birds, species and the places where I've seen them.

You are invited to post comments, to argue on the birds' identification or to add more hints.

House Sparrows

The house sparrow (passer domesticus) is maybe the most common bird in Romania. You can see it everywhere, on the street in the big cities, in the fields or even in the mountains.

I shot this passer domesticus yesterday (may, 1st, 2008) in Ploiesti, 60 km north from Bucharest.
