I would like to say thank you to dear @nelinoeva for this competition. You can find the announcement and rules here.
This week's theme is - HUNGRY BIRD
Bullfinch. This can be seen in mid-autumn, when these plump beauties begin to fly to cities for the winter.
Redwing. This species of thrush is very shy, but sitting in ambush in the bushes I managed to take a photo where this friend caught himself a worm.
Chaffinch. Although these birds feed on insects in the summer, their main diet is the seeds of various plants and herbs.
Fieldfare. Earthworms are the favorite food of these birds, both in early spring and summer.
Black-throated thrush. However, in the fall, including this species of thrushes, they switch to feeding on berries; they especially love rowan.
In city parks, in autumn you can feed great tits, nuthatches and willow titsdirectly from your hand.
They are so pretty, I'm wondering how many hours did you wait to catch a glimpse and even took a photo of them eating 🤩🤩.
Birds sure are hungry little fellows mostly little ones we see, you captured some amazing shots here of these busy birds in your neighbourhood.
Thank you!
Superb photography as always.
Stunning photos as always!
Feeding birds directly from your hand requires patience. How long it takes to gain their trust?
Thank you! This was photographed last fall in a grove, where birds are accustomed to people. I just took out the nuts and extended my hand, they flew in to feast on themselves.
