Junior sat on top of the the Green Man's head. Maybe the spiky hair reminded it of the nest. Mum spent some time hunting around for any insects. House Sparrows are very agile. They can hover for short periods and easily cling to rough vertical surfaces:
Most of the time mum watched while dad fetched bits from a nearby peanut feeder:
Aaah, just lovely John! I also have Sparrows clinging to all sorts under my patio roof at the moment, investigating for new nesting spots.
