This is a male house sparrow, making use of the feeder in the tree. Sometimes I hear a gang of sparrows chirruping away in a bush. They visit to feed too – sometimes from the feeders but more usually from the ground or bird-table. I have also seen them collecting nest material. They are nesting under the apex of next-door’s garage roof, where they can be seen going in and out. A male sits on top of the apex occasionally and chirrups, as if he is saying “My house, my house!”

We very rarely get house sparrows - but I don't know why.
