first she perches on this particular twig
but she can't quite reach the opening to the feeder so......
.....she bends right over and.......
whoooooops......she zips around and does a whole loop the loop getting a sunflower heart in her beak on the way!
What a clever little sprog! We watched her doing this about 20 times while having a coffee break the other day. Good entertainment! (-:

She will be working off more calories than she eats :-)
That is so clever and funny!!! I hope Smudge sticks around a while!!!
Birds are so much fun to watch when they work so hard for their food! She is very clever!
Hi Alan
Yes, not the best survival strategy in the world ever! Fun to watch though.
Eve, we hope she does too. She's quite distinctive with that mark under her chin, so we should be able to keep an eye on her.
Hi Mary, I love to watch behaviour in birds particularly.
Hello Wren
Trust you to get the performing sparrow in your garden - we don't seem to get that sort of thing here! Just the flaming squirrels doing their acrobatics and scoffing all the bird food! )-:
See you soon, Adgi
Clever 'Sorts', these Somerset Sparrows!!!
