A sitting Sparrow

When I saw the Eurasian Tree Sparrow sitting so quietly on the branch, I approached it just as quietly and thought it would fly off as I got nearer.  However, it remained where it was as I got really really close to it, I thought perhaps it had hurt itself or it was blind.

I stood observing it for seconds then decided to check it out to see if it really was hurt.  Looked like I was wrong as it took off suddenly as I went closer and closer.  Anti-climax indeed!
