Great picture, both the bird and the sunflower are sharp, i guess the bird was hungry ;)
You mean the sunflower steals the bird or the bird steals the sunflower? :)
Is there a birdie police to catch this thief? ;p
Caught in the act :lol:
Thanks everyone. James, seconds later the Sunflower ate the bird and burped loudly!

I love eating roasted sunflower seeds. I might take some of the seeds if I see them. :P
Impressive, really

Now this is drop dead gorgeous! After spending the last 6 days looking at ash and a very unnatural sepia it is wonderful to see such color!
I like it! :)
Thanks Amanda, Thanks HGF!
Good shot, and yes, these characters are known as premier league thieves. Not only where sunflowers are concerned.
That;s true but they certainly were not averse to their crimes beign recorded!
