Mikepércs: Actions Again

I expected actions again for today as it looked like there would be enough light for it.
Early in the morning everything was hoary a bit, but the lights were good already:

Great Tit

The tits start the scenes at once:

It's nice to see the greenfinches coming:

The great spotted woodpeckers don't hold off either:

Then I can hear hawfinches nearby, soon a male appears expelling the feeding sparrows:

Then a female is landing as well:

The hawfinches don't tolerate the sparrows beside them:

One of the sparrows is not frightened at once by the bigger bird, ...:

... and it flyes away only when the conflict is getting serious:

The woodpeckers expel the other birds as well when they land to feed:

The sparrows are tearing each other a bit:

Scratching:

The sparrows produce most of the scenes:

Tits are just threatening each other, usually their conflict doesn't get serious:

Some tits are not frightened at once by a common sparrow:

The bird which gets too close to the dominant sparrow has to take care of itself:

Searching everywhere:

I manage to catch a few birds while starting:

Around noontime the sun is shining heavily, so I decide to pack and leave, of course satisfied with the results.
