Mikepércs: Fighting

It seemed to be sunny this morning, so I've had the opportunity for shooting some action.
Besides the tits the tree sparrows have come for food. Unlike the tits the sparrows have a different method of eating seeds. The tits come for every seed, take them to a bush to break it in the safty of the branches and twigs. The sparrows however land near the seeds, usually in a group and start eating side by side. If they don't have enough space, they peck each other, but often they start to fight with beaks and claws. I try to catch these scenes:

When the sparrows occupy the feeding place the tits can hardly get the seeds, but if they are hungry they stand up against the sparrows:
