Artist's Comments

Starting to look for slightly different shots if I can. This one shows a greenfinch preventing a blue tit from getting to the feeder. The blue tit actually dropped to a virtual hanging position under the branch in submission then stodd up and made its way up the branch out of the way. Whilst I've seen 3 or 4 blue tits in the same area it's much more common to see greenfinches in groups and they often appear at feeders this way.

cool, didn't know they were so aggressive. in my garden, it's usually a blackbird that does all the fuss. i haven't seen finches feeding in the garden at all, although i see them in trees all the year.

Nice shot! Blue tits are cute, but great tits is even cuter. Long ago since I last saw a greenfinch. And again, nice shot!

Thanks Deborah, again :)

I would be happier if I could have zoomed in better on the action but things were happening so fast! I was thinking of cropping this to do just that and I may play around with it on my PC to see how it looks.

Thanks - there are great tits in the garden too but they are a little shy about coming to this particular feeder atm but I hope to get some good pics in due course.

It's surprising how agressive even the smallest ones can be when they are tested. The blue tit came back but tried an air assault but I was nowhere near fast enough!
