Voracious sparrows

Taken in a neighbor’s front garden. The man puts out suet pretty often so there’s usually a crowd of birds, mainly sparrows, trying to get a bite (or 10).

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

Last (and only) one standing, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/1000s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso1000 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Nice action separation from the background. They seem to be starving. V

Nicely captured and a great way (bird feeder) for bird watching and photography. I think the many diagonal lines in the "off balance" bird feeder adds a sense of energy and movement. V+

Ces carrés de nourriture sont toujours appréciés par plusieurs espèces, une magnifique photo de ces moineaux se régalant! V

Their great grandparents were meat-eating dinosaurs, ergo, they're voracious!

Great capture. I like the bird with his mouth open in anticipation of getting at the suet. V
