Garden Birds (no robins or people)

Ahhhh a bickering starlings. Often viewed as a pest and bully these little birds offer such comical value to the garden birds - they also have fantastic colours and loved the shot and moment for the theme garden birds. Beautifully framed and timed.

Well Done

Starlings - the bully of the garden or so they say but personally I love them and think they’re miss understood. Brilliant colouring and loved the shot and moment for the theme garden birds

Well Done

what a stance - starlings are known for their brashness in the garden and this little fellow sure has claimed his table. Great representation of the theme; loved the shot and moment for the theme garden birds Great framing and brilliant colouring

Well Done

This picture really did make me smile It’s also a good reminder our garden birds need water as well as food. I loved the shot and moment for the theme garden birds

Great Capture

Brilliant experience and capture of the humble sparrow. nicely representing the garden birds theme and capturing a beautiful moment

Well Done

I kept coming back to this shot for my theme of garden birds, there was something about it that just kept drawing me in but I wasn’t sure what it was until I realised it was the idea to shoot in lowlight - life for garden birds is a struggle and the contrast of the lowlight and highlights on the blackbird (almost like hope for the future) I feel represented the theme garden birds really well.

Well Done

what a lovely little capture and great for the theme garden birds often we may just think of the tits and songbirds as our garden birds but forget the magpie has become quite common in the garden setting. They’re great to watch and will enjoy visiting for a good meal. I also think they’re quite comical. The picture works well in b&w

Well Done

the look of determination cross with a small amount of confusion come irritation of this little blue tit was just a classic representation of this perky little garden bird for me and I just loved the shot and moment for the theme garden birds

well done. great submission

Great capture and entry for the theme garden birds - the long tailed tit can be quite shy and very quick. Nice to see it taking advantage of a helping hand and snack from your garden and brilliant shot and moment for the theme garden birds

Well Done

just love the contrast of this shot. the little bird at the back of the feeder peering through gives this almost comical feel but it also brings to mind the stark reality of life as a garden bird The others looking around, watching for potential dangers really does highlight the daily struggle of our garden birds My only personal suggestion - make use of the hashtags as it deserves to be seen but it’s perfect for the theme garden birds.

Well Done

a lovely little moment to capture and share in the garden birds theme.

Thank You and Well Done

I was instantly drawn to this shot as my envisagement for the theme of garden birds and knew I had to have it in my top 10.

So often the blackbird is a regular garden visitor but perhaps over looked due to a lack of colour or markings in its plumage but with your brilliant mid air capture you’ve given this little humble bird its crowning glory 👑

Well Done - very well deserved first place

Just loved this little capture of the humble sparrow - brilliant adaptation of the theme of garden birds.

Also Just shows you can help the birds just by using simple things like milk cartons and not spending loads of money on feeders - what a great idea. Great motion capture and framing.

Well Done

oh my gosh - what a lovely little capture. thank you for highlighting the struggles of our garden birds especially when they have young to feed. The search for food doesn’t stop even in the rain

Great Entry. Well Done
