Two images of the sparrow.

Thanks for getting the news out Jake,albeit disappointing news.
A very interesting bird and Leanne should be thanked for sharing it with us.
A hint of Cinnamon Sparrow maybe?
Like to see another angle.
Odd looking little thing.Thanks Leanne.
Interesting thought Clive [never heard of that one b4 you mentioned it tho'] - it lacks the black cheek splodge tho'. Just a thought - are exotic sparrows kept & bred as cage birds?
Looks like the House x Italian Sparrows I've seen in the Alps: brown cap but lacking the white patches above the eyes and more pronounced brown/black/white on wings. If so, how did this bird get to Kenfig Hill? Doesn't rutilans have brighter colours?
After spending some time on the limited view of the subject,i have to agree with Joek,it certainly looks to have more than a little bit of Italian about it.
Why is it not Italian?
