The contortionist

I heard a racket coming from down the block, and what I found were loads of sparrows and a starling vying for a bite of suet.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

That's quite a stretch - I like how the bird mimics the arc of the branch.

What a great shot this is, with plenty of detail. It would have been something to see them all trying to get a bite! V
