Hi Siderman, welcome to PBP.
Is the 70-300 a VR on non-VR? From what I heard, it's a wonder lens, for it's price.
Do you know what kind of sparrow that is? I'm trying to research, but the only sparrow I can find that's in NZ are the House Sparrow (passer domesticus). Though house sparrow is not really a sparrow but a kind of finch.
Nice capture though, lots of details.

That's a lot of detail from a 70-300. Same with Ted, is this the VR version or the older non-VR?
Welcome to the forum!

Hello everyone thanks for the comments, I have a 70-300G nor vr, not the best for birds! u would like maybe a 300mm prime 2.8f but as im a student money is a problem (mind you i think money is a problem all the way through life) The sparrow is a Female house sparrow (Passer domesticus) i mostly photography macro, as i dont have a longer lens to do wildlife and birds, Ive done the odd Opossum photo as well, as i photograph spiders at night and the opossums are normally quite interested in why im wandering around the bushes at night. lol
P.S sorry about spelling and gramma!
Cheers Bryce

spiderman (can I call you bryce?),
The house sparrows looks the same down there. This bird have come a long way and widespread, a successful species indeed. It easily adapts to the changing environment. If only the other species can do the same.
