Mmmm.... I posted a picture of one a couple of months ago, she was still around last month. Not sure about now, it's not always easy to see.

A nice set of pictures you've got today - thanks Keith.
 
I have a male chaffinch with growths on both feet visit my garden every day. So upsetting to see especially knowing there is nothing you can do about it. A lovely shot of this little lady, Keith. Thanks for sharing.
 
Poor little one. I always feel so bad when I see a bird with bad feet. She sure makes a beautiful image.
