From the photo is does look like a slightly strained sparrow!

You can post as many birds as you want here and we will do our best to identify them, there are members who know a lot more about birds than me!

Yes, house sparrow. If you're an American, that would be an English house sparrow.

Welcome to Wildlife UK, Stu. As Xeract said, don't be afraid to ask questions. We'll do our best to answer them.
