Parental Pressure
This adult Goldfinch was trying to feed five juveniles at the feeder; I think the other two were clambering over each other just out of shot lol

Stunning behavior capture Tom!!! Looks like the parent is exhausted!!! Superb post!! TFS!!!
 
No wonder the parents look a bit worn out after a long summer. Your photo shows the hard work involved,Tom. Nice work. BTW,had a look at your website yesterday,like your water colour work too. Very nice with a personal touch.
 
Ove, I have another photo of these birds, and the parent bird looks even more demonstrably exhausted, appearing to take some time out from the frenzy of feeding the 5 juveniles. Nice you had a look at my website. Thanks. Im still relatively new to watercolours; but I really enjoy having a go.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.
