VACATION – DAY 5 : MID-AIR CATCH

Best viewed large.
I was between two minds on whether I to use this title or use McDonald’s motto: “I’m lovin’ it” for a title.
18th July – Montreux. We were having a meal at MacDonald’s and there were many sparrows and pigeons around the place. We started throwing them small morsels of potato chips and they were all in a frenzy and fighting for them. I grabbed my camera and as Christine threw them the chips I tried to capture their frenetic activity. I took some good shots but I thought this one was the best. Here, the sparrow has just caught the potato morsel in mid-air.
Thank you for looking and for your wonderful comments on yesterday’s picture.
This is nice photo of Mid Air Catch.....Dione Giorgio!!!!!

Nicely timed. It once seemed the world was full of sparrows, but in the last coupleof years I have seen hardly any.

Great and lovely view of the birds. Sparrow use to be much in our country but they number out . One of the main reason, The new build hoses don`t give nesting possibilities.
It`s a shame you can`t cycle. It`s the cheapest and environmentally friendly way to travel

that big guy looks like he would be a bully...how is that by judging according to appearances? horrible of me! cute shot...really caught the little guy in action...probably because he knows he would never win against that big guy!

@jenrobcarr Thanks, Jennifer. I agree, in fact, that is the last place I look for when it's time to eat.
