I learned to appreciate even the common sparrows from a friend, who is the current world record holder of having the most birds species logged (10,000 species this year). He’s seen the most exotic world all over the world, sometimes arranging a whole holiday around seeing one particular bird. I’ve been on walks with him and seen him getting satisfaction out of watching sparrows and wood doves and crows.
