Dogfight

Admittedly a poor capture (and not the subject of the shot so caught in the frame by accident), but this is the kind of thing I find interesting around the bird feeder, not necessarily vicious fights, but the altercations that seem to regularly occur among the house sparrows that frequent the garden next door. I thought it was interesting with feet and wings flying, and can never get these when I try, so am including it in my bird trials collection.

If there was a photo contest called 'battle of the birds', this would be the winner! What action!

A great capture. These spats rarely last long and are only meant to scare off a competitor. V

Whoa! Those birds mean business and it looks like the one is pinned and ready to drop! V

They really look serious, but then fending off others at the feeder is serious business! Excellent shot. V
