The Feeder

 

We seem to have a few sparrows flying around our garden and going to the bird feeder. I sat on the patio the other day with my camera and 400mm zoom lens taking photos

One sat in the cherry tree

 
Looking alert 

 
On the ground looking from seeds fallen from the feeder

 
A good number of seed fall or get dropped when they are on it


 A male looks on ready to fly off

 
One watches one feeds

 
The whole family  get on there

I took these from inside the house as the gold finches would not feed while I was near

This little fellow only fed when I was in  the house, It took a while till he came on the fat balls

It pleases me to see them feeding, though our dog has something to say when he sees the pigeon and chases them off
Take Care

Nice photos! I love your gold finches. The US variety has lots more gold and no red.

Amazing how time flies when you just sit and admire the birds on a feeder.
