FINCH PINCHER! A greenfinch and a goldfinch get into a squabble over the seed in a birdfeeder, showcasing the natural pecking order of the two bird species. The pair were pictured in a garden in Hailsham, East Sussex. <br />
<br />
Ed Brown said, “I have a bird table outside my conservatory with a couple of feeders hanging off it so we have plenty of birdlife visiting our garden. The Greenfinches and Goldfinches are quite common in the garden but there is definitely a pecking order.<br />
<br />
“The Goldfinches will happily sit feeding but as soon as a Greenfinch turns up there will be a quick argument and the Greenfinch will often take its spot on the feeder.”<br />
