Male Chaffinch

Male Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs)

It's funny with the Chaffinches; they'll come to the feeder for days/weeks at a time, then won't come near for a long time, just feed off the shed roof.

I found I was rather enjoying Sports Mode and shooting in burst. It just means I have to be quite strict about deleting the not so good shots and poses.

A beautiful capture of this bird, Delia! I use to have a feeder like that until the squirrels made it impossible.
