Mostly Twites

Mostly Twites (Carduelis flavirostris)

There's at least one juvenile Greenfinch.
My wife like this for some reason. Really just a record shot. It was very frustrating to see a whole flock of Twites and not succeed in getting close to any of them. It was still nice to see them though.

LOL Graham... when we went to Mull years ago, Twite was a target. Someone said "why bother, they're pretty nondescript!!" I still wanted to see them though and was pleased when we found some near Grass Point. I thought they were rather pretty really.

I agree with your wife here - this is a lovely image. So full of action too.

You've handled the exposure very well - nice work here Graham.

A very fine group shot Graham. To be honest, I didn't even know there was a bird called 'Twite" ;)
