Sparrows catch bandits

The bird that captures the robbers in its nest is one of the unique spectacle of birds in the week.

A strange bird rushes into a sparrow's nest to steal food, but while escaping he is kept by a sparrow. Urs Schmidli, who lives in Switzerland, captured this unique scene in his garden. Photo: Barcroft Media.

In this photo, the bald eagle resembles a jet with two smoke streaks behind its legs. Pam Mullins, author of the photo, captured the scene in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada. The photographer insisted that when she pressed the camera, she did not see two smoke stains. So it is very likely that two smoke streaks are the product of a jet aircraft accidentally flying over.
