Blackbirds scrapping in the snow 1

This is one from a series that I took a week or two ago in the snow. 20 + blackbirds were attracted to a winter feeding site and occasionally a bit of fisty cuffs broke out, though suprisingly they learnt to be fairly tolerant of each other most of the time.
I like the pose of the one in the snow as he is about to be dive-bombed by his adversary

Excellent Paul, thought I saw an even better one on your website. The wizard.

Nice behaviour and a very dynamic image.

Cheers,
Chris

Good action shot Paul, not easy to catch.

Hi Paul,

Nice behaviour shot. The pose of the bird on the ground is great. My only nit is the top birds clipped wings, but I appreciate how fast this all happens!

Cheers,

Lewis.

Hi. yes nice behaviour shot. at one point during the snowy weather we had 10 black birds in our garden.

this makes me wish i had taken a few.

Superb action Paul!

Hello Paul.

Excellent action shot and I really love the pose of the bottom one with the wings and tail feathers in full display.

Great action - little sign of tolerance amongst the ones I have here - enough food to feed the lot, yet still they fight as if there was one seed left !!

It was like cage fighting at time round my feeding station - you caught the action well here and love the lower birds pose.

Hi Paul, I like the capture here.
