Both of these sparrows were found at Col Sam on the weekend.
The first by me and the second by my gf.
 
1. Savannah?

 
2. Grasshopper?

First one looks good for a vesper. Always a nice find!

The second is a white-throated sparrow.

Cheers
Tim

Agree on both.  I had a Vesper Sparrow there on Saturday as well.  I chased him for about 150 metres trying to get a decent look.  Finally had to rely on a photo because I never did see him well with bins.

Thanks guys! Much to learn have I!
The Vesper is a lifer and for some reason the White-throated had me totally fooled!
