Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

Watch the birdie!
Watch the birdie! Can you even see the birdie? This little sparrow, the symbol of Belgrade, is pretty hard to see, perched on this nearly leafless bush while soaking up some of the last rays of warmer sunshine for a while, I think.
Ah, certainly! Your depth of field and fine capture made this much easier than finding Waldo - hah! I think that it is getting quite chilly across Europe now, right?
Leif, I wish it were my home! It is part of the Kalemegdan fortress!
Dadu, the sparrow was chosen as the symbol of Belgrade because it is a small bird capable of soaring to great heights, and thus stands for the special Belgrade spirit.

Great shot! I love how the birdie is almost hidden. You capture it so well!

Hello pretty birdie. Nicely captured...they are very flighty.
I like the brown tones of the photo with a bit of color from the flag.
A cute sparrow indeed! Is that your little house in the background, Bibi?
une superbe profondeur de champs, ce qui donne une photo magnifique
Beautiful photo. He is well hidden.
I love these little guys.
Hi!
Just a question: why the sparrow is the symbol of Beograd?

Thank you!
(home in Kalemegdan: such a stony hype and many animals and tanks to keep the house safe^^)
Excellent juxtaposition with nice fall colors!
I am most suprised that the sparrow is the symbol of Belgrade
The birdie is naturally camouflaged and it really works. It's a cutie, though. I love the shot and the muted autumnal colors!
Here's hoping for a mild winter.
sweet shot ..
Sweet little thing. Hope it doesn't freeze to death. Do they stick around all year?
Hi, Gaelyn! Yep, the little sparrows hang around all year.
