Mother's Love: Sparrow with chicks.

[Satishchandra Ranadive]

I am happy to see, very happy/healthy nice group of sparrows,(females with almost 7-8 juveniles).
Males were there, but far away from this spot.
Sharing one of the pictures from the same spot at Pune photographed today morning.

Beautiful image! Does it allow one to hope that the house sparrow may make a come back ?

Great capture.....

Brilliant portrait.

A slightly higher shutter speed would have frozen the wing movement of the bird on the right, making this an even better and incredible picture, but then, there is little we can do about the light conditions, especially while getting behind these extremely nimble birds.

Was this on a support (Tri/mono pod, bean bag etc) ? for the details are extremely clear.

thanks for sharing

Thank you all for your nice comments.
Shamala,
They are already coming back. We have here a group of 25-30 sparrows, and in the group, today I saw more than 10 juveniles.You can also have them around your home,if you have space to keep cereals and some rice in a tray or feeder( even you can keep it in balcony),within few days sparrows (they can find the way...but don't know ,how they find it) will start coming there.

Rajan,
This hand held shot.There was no time to increase the shutter speed, to capture this moment.
Regards.
