Flight pictures of these small birds are extremely difficult to get I think Awolbirder!! The one's I've got were just pure luck!!

That's a grand picture you've taken of this finch lad - a species we don't see coming in very often. Many thanks for showing him to us.

Thanks for your comment on my Willow Warbler picture Awolbirder.

You can read more about them in our Opus article here: https://www.birdforum.net/opus/Phylloscopus_trochilus

As far as I can make out they don't even get to the States as a vagrant. .... well we do have to keep some species for ourselves don't we LOL
