sparrow fight

I promised myself I wouldn't show images of birds on the feeder, but I woke this morning to the most amazing cacophony in the garden, which turned out to be this group of sparrows fighting each other for space to feed, It was quite entertaining!

Thank you for all your comments on yesterday's shot - it made it to the Popular Page - I am so grateful for your support, thank you!
Beautiful lighting.

Nice action shot. I like the front-and-center one that looks like he's scolding the one below him.

Perfect composition. One of those fortuituous things, birds move so incredibly quickly.

The male certainly looks the boss!! Lovely action of the wings!

Incredible. Fantastic motion in this shot.

Why wouldn't you show shots of birds on the feeder? I would imagine that's a great way to catch some action shots, like this one. This is a finely captured moment. :)

@joa Well, it's just that it's not that challenging and I try and push myself!

@peadar I would think that catching really good bird pics is always challenging, with the fast movement and endless details in the feathers etc. Bird photography isn't my thing (at least not yet, hahah!), but mainly because I fear it's so danged difficult that I could never hope to be any good at it. Even with a feeder. :D

I really like that you have caught them mid flight and mid breakfast. What a great way to wake up!

Sweet capture. The golden light is simply stunning
