Mischievous chatter between two birds, telling the news of the day, as humans do at the coffee machine? Voluble negotiation of two birds about the food? Threat and soumission? Resistance? Who knows, we cannot understand their language.... This capture of a unique moment between two magnificent blue jays is very delightful and tecnically perfect. Thank you for making us smile with it! Congratulations!
Very unusual feeding place and environment and very unexpected birds, just grey with a black mask! These bulbuls are calm and seem to pose for the photographer like in a still life composition. I do like the pleasant surprise these dark birds are while most of the time we do research very coloured ones, supposing that the colours make the beauty. It must not be necessarily so, this is the proof! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your finding and excellent capture with us!
This round and fluffy robin seems to be in very deep thoughts... Gentle roundness of the silhouette. to keep the warmth of its small body under the deliacate feathers. Very nice browns and whites, enhanced by the bright orange of the neck and breast and the different textures.. The black background contributes to concentraite me on the beauty of this small creature and the many qualities of this perfect photo. Thank you for sharing you talent with us! Congratulations!
This tender beak to beak feeding moment touches me by its deep expressivity between both birds. The perfection of each detail and colour hue in the delicate plumage, the fine balance of sharp and soft in the browns and greys of their different textures make this picture delightful.. This very ordinary birds look fantastic because they have been captured with love and talent by the photographer. I therefore must be indulgent for the background on the right side which catches the eye and which could have been easily repaired by smoothening it slightly. Thank you for sharing this wonderful picture with us and congratulations!
It's my turn! You have got enough! Get out of my way! Freezing this special moment when the birds yell at each other and the short second when the wings are beautifully open is a challenge, especially if the sharpness and the colours are top! Thank your for this exquisite photo and congratulations!

The great purpose of the hungry birds during winter is to dislodge each other from the feeder. Chaffinches are no exceptions, they do also have this egoistic instinct of survival.. Here it seems to be somewhat brutal, as feathers and seeds are flying in the air! Perfect capture, perfect presentation of the photo! Thank you for entering this challenge! Congratulations!
Well done! Great photo!The golfinches show what they do best: fighting! With all the other kinds of birds, even with their own brothers and sisters! It is not easy to capture birds when they fly and fight, it needs some preparation and waiting. But we are rewarded when we catch their best attitudes, especially when they are in the air and open their colourful wings. Thank you for entering this challenge! Congratulations!

Do the birds fight for food or do they just have a graceful moment of fun and joy? There are plenty of good things in their feeder, no need to worry about it. The cold blue and white of the birds contrasts with a wonderful bokeh of warm reds, greens and yellows. Could not be more beautiful! Thank you for entering this challenge! Congratulations!
These golden orioles are beautiful when they are angry each against the other when it comes to sharing.... They show a lot of personality. in their own way... Great capture, with beautiful attitudes, open wings, amazing yellows and a very nice green bokeh! Thank you for participating in this challenge and congratulations!
