Swing time
There seemed to be a bit of "push, pull" going on with this feeder, as it was swinging around a bit.

Not sure if the House Sparrow knew the Greenfinch was on the other side LOL

A charming feeder shot, Delia! We sometimes have a single male House Sparrow on our feeders. Seems a bit odd. We had a few Tree Sparrows previously but I haven't seen those for weeks.

I'm a big fan of House Sparrows and Greenfinch's which are getting to be a rare bird around here, so nice to see them captured together.
Greenfinches are a rarity in my garden here too Keith. less than half a dozen sightings in 20 years! I hear them round the town on occasion.
