Such a feast

that there were two gate crashers! Can you spot them?

I threw some bird seed into the olive grove and wanted to see what happens. It took a while before some appeared.

Three different birds plus the little striped field mice.

Fantastic capture of all the colorful birds. Those little field mice look like what we call chipmunks

[Beryl Lloyd]

Super shot - the field mice blended in so well with the birds!- took me minute or two to spot them !!

[Mags]

Aww! What a wonderful capture.

[winghong_ho]

Nice gathering.

[moni kozi]

Whoa! Speaking of diversity... :D

[JackieR]

Oh poor hungry meeces allowed to play with peckish birds!!

[Susan Wakely]

Oh my goodness. What cute little mice.

[Elyse Klemchuk]

This is wonderful! The colorful birds and the crashers!

Great capture

They are all so cute.

The chipmunks 🐿 fit right in don’t they. I’m not sure why but I’ve never liked mice and rats but chipmunks delight me.

[Desi]

Oh how lovely!

[LManning (Laura)]

The mice blend right in! Clever beasties.

[Shutterbug]

Glad you mentioned. One was easy to spot, but I had to look for the other. There must be plenty of seed, none are fighting. The mammals are the same size and similar coloring to some of the birds so they fit right in.

those mice are so different to any I've ever seen

[Carole Sandford]

Unusual looking mouse, hope the birds of many colours didn’t peck at him.

[Dawn]

A lovely capture

[narayani]

How sweet. Those field nice aren’t so little!

[Kathy A]

Nice to see them all sharing the food

[Gosia]

Love it

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Nice shot

[Heather]

Thanks for the challenge, Diana! Fun! So, the second field mouse was hard to find, but I got it! They could almost pass as sparrows! Love the pops of red-orange, too! Fav

[George]

Fascinating and beautiful - a great little collection.

[Rick]

Wow, neat looking birds. The mice blend in real well, but I was able to pick them out. Great shot.
