Late every afternoon, when the surroundings gradually become clouded in darkness, whether in our backyard, our garden or, indeed, in any place where I am present; I always have the luck to witness the gathering of certain birds, coming to a particular place to spend their night. You won’t fail to notice these birds once they have gathered together, since they are gregarious, especially in a flock, and make a harsh high-pitched chirp-chip call.

These are the Eurasian Tree Sparrows. These birds are common not only in The Philippines but also in Europe and the rest of Asia. They are mostly seen in agricultural abodes, rural parks and gardens. These sparrows have a thick black conical bill, which is about six inches long and a nine inch wingspan, mostly appearing in the colors of brown, black, buff, gray, and white. They are similar to House Sparrows but are never as aggressive as them. This kind of bird is quiet and cautious, and can therefore easily adapt to humans.
I often see these birds nesting in our backyard and I often notice them playing or looking for a food in our garden. So, one time when I saw a number of flocks gathering together in the market, above the wires, I was quite in awe. It's a good thing I had my camera with me and was able to take a video of them to share with you. I Hope you will be as amused by it as I was. ^_^ Below is the video...
