Description

I don't normally photograph birds at feeding stations but with the variety of birds in these three images I couldn't resist capturing the activity. I can't decide which of the three I prefer ~ can you?

It's between V's 2 & 3 for me, Albert, excellent captures, and what a variety. Need more perches, I think Wink Carol

Well taken Albert

Not easy to decide! V1 has some nicely captured in-flight, but in the end I'm going for V3 because I just love the expression on theface of the little rascal on the right!

I agree with Ann- it's not at all easy to decide - they all have their merits. Three fun images each depicting a moment in time.

It's a bit like an avian version of MacDonalds with folk coming and going all the time: great variety of species here too.
Very well done.

What a wonderful set Albert; I like the composition of V3 best, but prefer V1 for the movement.
Now you have to train them to queue in the British fashion Wink

Ronnie's idea of a MacDonalds is great, but I think it's probably a Fly-In MacDonalds Grin .
What a wonderful variety of visitors.
I like your composition of V2, with the feeder in focus and offset, with space around for context.

WOW indeed. I love no 3 for the diversity in traffic and the inclusion of the two oof finches on the branch and v3 for that fat finch who can't feed there fast enough with all the competition

You can certainly attract the birds Albert! Wink I think v3 is the best as all the birds are clear and are posing very nicely for you
