2017 01 27 - Standoff at the feeder

The female blackcap has taken over the bird feeder and keeps chasing off everyone who attempts to feed. Here she is telling the great tit to clear off!! LOL!!

Such a shame the great tit wasn't in focus but you can see what the action was like!!

Wow a blackcap in your garden- I had one once when it was really cold. The cold weather has some benefits Fav

Love watching the interaction between birds. Although some birds are bullies.

Oh my. They do look like they are giving each other "the look."

I like the focus, actually! I think it's effective to have the aggressor in focus and the other easily distinguished but less so.

I agree the focus works well :)

Beautiful black cap. Don't you hate it when you only get one in focus! I sure do
