Extreme photographic effect. (1 Viewer)

The attached 3 photos of a Crossbill are part of a sequence of 6 photos taken with the shutter button held down on my Canon SX50 HS, so obviously no change in the settings. The middle shot is how I saw the bird through binoculars, basically yellow-green. The other 2, taken immediately before and after, show the bird reddish, as did the others in the sequence, and in other sequences before and afterwards. The bird never appeared like that in the field, and as I was photographing it it was difficult to believe it was the same bird I was seeing with binoculars and naked eye.

None of the photos has been changed in any way (other than re-sizing for BirdForum). It is hard to believe this difference could be achieved by altering settings, never mind without even taking my finger off the shutter button. We all know digital photos can be deceptive, but this is extreme.
