Nice birds

I had seen such birds before, but I took them for sparrows, although they are smaller than them. They are very similar in the distance. I always saw them in the trees - in a friendly flock, they quickly flew in, sat down, descended in a crowd, almost fell to the ground. They also got up together, flew to another tree, only flickering. I have never seen them close up, they are very careful.

Today, I am walking through a children's park, and suddenly a large flock of babies came right over their heads and sank into a tree.

Before I could pull out the camera, the birds instantly flew to another tree, and then another.

I hardly managed to “catch”, very nimble kids, they do not linger on the spot.

I noticed that not all birds are the same color.

Some of them are completely gray.

Among them there are birds with a red "cap" and a breast of the same color, but a little paler. These are males, as I was told.

Before I could adjust, the birds flew off again.

I went on for a few more minutes and suddenly I saw their friendly little family on the ground.

Become very close to them, of course, did not work.

But I watched for a long time with pleasure for them. The birds chirped merrily. Instantly they all went up together again, because there was a sidewalk nearby, a driveway for cars. They all responded in a hurry. Birds are so interesting and very tiny. Not far from me, I saw a guy with a camera, squatting, sneaking up to the birds.

I managed to shoot and video. Already at home, I learned that, it turns out, I was watching the tap dance. Glorious little birds! Impressed.
