In pictures: The amazing moment Lancashire Chaffinches fight over food captured on camera

This remarkable set of photographs were shot in Lancashire by photographer Martin Goff.

Chaffinches dramatically squabbling over food have been captured by a Lancashire bird photographer.

Martin Goff was able to spot the birds energetically harassing each other in Haslingden on Wednesday July 15.

His picture highlights, a remarkable set of action shots, include one bird diving at another on a tree branch.

He said: "I was out photographing locally at a small nature reserve and I was sat in one of the hides just watching and waiting. There were plenty of birds visiting and the chaffinches were, as usual, squabbling and fighting over food."
