How to bright a dull day (Fringilla coelebs)

This posing Chaffinch from Sherwood Forest made this Maid Marian very happy!!! :-O It was a very dark cloudy day, but I was thrilled to make the dream of visiting Sherwood Forest come true. Thanks a million to Mike (Sandpiper) for taking me there!!! o:)

Oh, and Jamiedude, as you told me you missed the sound and looks of these chappies while you were in China, here you have one! ;).

Lol, Lady Marian. Be careful in the Sherwood forest. Some Robin or sheriff migh keep you in that forest for the rest of your life. :D Beautiful image. Still Chaffinches here too. :clap:

A lovely sparkly, bright Chaffinch. I really like the lime green of the woodland setting too. Great shot :t:
