The reason

for him sounding off is sitting in the tree on the left, a little intruder!

I only noticed it when I uploaded the photo.

How dare that little sparrow try to hang out with such a handsome specimen?! Lovely image.

[Rob Z]

What a great photo of this confrontation!

[Yao RL]

He can easily swallow the little bird. so funny.

[haskar]

In the natural world, this sounds like a nice visit.

[Babs]

He doesn't seem to be happy with the company of another bird

[Beryl Lloyd]

The little sparrow seems undeterred by the big handsome guy who seems to be shouting his head off at the intruder !! Great shot of little and large !! fav

[Maggiemae]

He who has the long tail and the biggest beak making the most sound, ends up master of all!

[Casablanca]

That open beak is marvellous

[Brigette]

It’s amazing the things you don’t see at the time only when you review later both good and bad, well captured image Diana:)

[Kathy A]

Love that open beak

[katy]

it would be easy to miss that little intruder, while focused on this beautiful bird and his open beak

[Corinne C]

What a timing!
He didn't seem pleased even thought he seems so much bigger!

[Allison Maltese]

The sparrow certainly adds to the story. Nice timing to get the larger bird sounding off.

[vaidas]

Me too sometimes finding something unseen within image. That's one more reason to shoot.

[Mags]

Hah! I'll bet he's an ear full! Great shot.
