Wings in sunlight

[Fangman]

Within a second or so the Great tit has landed - grabbed its prize and away. Until I was trying to freeze action I did not realize how quickly they were moving.

The Goldfinch did not know what was to come!

I prefer the second pic...the male bird's body is nicely plumped up, the wing spread is good, and he's got his eye on you. Nicely captured.
