Goldfinch rescue

I was photographing my Mama bluebird feeding her babies when I heard a rustling in the shrubs.


Looks like we are having a wasp for lunch. ( photo / image / picture from gfreiherr's Garden )

This is what I saw in the rhododendrons.

Since I had my camera in my hands, I had to take a few photos before I went to his rescue.

I did not want to get too close & panic him, so I gently shook the branch and he was able to get free and fly off.

 

Well caught Gail. I hope the finch will thank you by eating lots of pests in your garden.

 

Oh my! I had a Hummingbird stuck in a spider web this spring on my porch. I held up a long stick to his feet and he grabbed on and flew away. It was scary!

 

Well done both of hyou .

Good fotos, Gail.
Poor thing must have paniced there for a moment.

 

Thank you all for your comments, I think the poor finch darted into the shrubs when he saw me but I am glad he wasn't injured. He took off pretty fast.

 

Great photos Gail.I'm glad you were there to rescue it.Poor little Hummer
so glad you found him before the spider did.
