chaffinch taken at eynesford country park

Chaffinches are regular visitors to the garden, this fellow taking time off from the feeders to visit the bird bath.

Eating the seeds of this plant while I was parking the 4X4.

Well Peeps, I had a few hours out at Rye Harbour yesterday...It was great being out in the field, but I wouldn't have bothered going had I known it was going to be as windy as it was. However I did get a few nice pics, so glad I did it after all. Well its friday again, so I hope y'all have a...

Chaffinch with bumblefoot This pretty little lady has the worst case of bumblefoot I have seen and it is very painful for her.

Taken today in People, Park, Waterford, Ireland.

Thought I'd take a brief break from California birds and post some from today in Aberystwyth. We got a late start this morning, daughter and I, having been up late last night, thanks to three flights and finally a train that didn't arrive here until midnight :eek!: So we didn't set out until...

It is almost that time of the year for them to start feeding on the flax seeds

Will this pose do? - Female chaffinch

Plump Chaffinch - nice eye

She looks a bit annoyed at something.

Well Peeps, We are on the road again this morning...We are leaving Devon, and heading back home to Hastings. It will be about 4 different trains, and take us about 7 hours. When we get back, I'm sure I will be ready for a much deserved pint or two, so I will catch up with y'all...

Another very snowy January picture. I just love how all these guys are in different poses, the front one nearly fell off the edge of the roof and is trying to re-gain his balance and I'm getting 'the look' from the one on the right!! About the car... yes, well it was rather old and wasn't...
