Fine shot of these strange but (as you say) charming little finches Delia. They really do look a bit odd! Wiki says they're sometimes called "the owl finch" owing to the dark ring of feathers around the face.

beaten path, D, these
finches being a good
example. Capital.

Three nice little charmers in one frame makes for a wonderful colourful capture Delia, well done.
