Mikepércs: Sparrow Fighting

I expected some action today and I hoped that the hawfinches would bring some more interesting scenes in today's photography.
The first worthwhile photo is taken of a sparrow hawk:

It doesn't stay long on the mossy trunk, but it comes closer and lands on the side of the pool:

It soon flies away, so the tits and the sparrows return:

The sparrows keep on fighting:

They even trample on each other's neck:

Then a woodpecker appears sending off the sparrows:

But the woodpecker has come for one seed only, so when it leaves, the sparrows return at once:

The landing woodpecker expels every bird again for a few seconds:

The sparrows are tearing, kicking each other:

It's easy to knock over the smaller tit:

Although the hawfinches haven't come today, the sparrows have made a lot of interesting scenes.
