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

So nicely captured tracker. I love family shots like this.
 
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.
