info

At first glance, this is the same species of sparrow that occurs here in Poland. However, when we take a look up close at pictures taken it can be seen that this is a sparrow species occurring in the Mediterranean region, in  the east and to the west of China. Its  underbelly is slightly darker in color and its head is brown, like of our eurasian tree sparrow. Unfortunately, It happened to me to encounter it only twice, in one place, but so successful were these contacts that resulted in the presented gallery.
