female chaffinch

A beautiful female chaffinch coming into land at Yarrow Valley Country Park.

.... a good shelter if it rains. As she didn't seem that interested in the contents of the box. A female Chaffinch on one of the peanut feeders at Loch of the Lowes. TTTW

Can't be anything other than a female Chaffinch this one. It really was pretty dark in there, but some brightness in the background. With Ann's encouragement and tuition I upped the exposure bias .... and up and up.... to the max of +7 on my camera!!! And then when I was preparing it to upload...

Mrs C was busy feeding when Mr TS flew in (that's saved for another day;)) The expressions on their faces gave me the title. I think this is the first time I've photographed these two species together.

Well I presume so LOL, but she's relegated to feeding off the floor!;) Unfortunately it was a bit darker down there under the trees, I was almost tempted to change this to a b/w image as there's so little colour, but changed my mind! TTTW

Just a little bit of colour from a few fallen leaves. I'm not too sure how I managed to get focused with so little contrast between bird and background colours LOL. TTTW at Loch of the Lowes

.... for this little lady. I think she was wondering which of the many feeders appealed LOL TTTW Snowing heavily here today!! With frozen ice underneath - not good!

.... well it was a little dark down on the floor in amongst the leaves. But it didn't stop her finding a seed, did it. Sorry about the light, it was completely sunless down where she was. TTTW

For some reason, I sometimes struggle to get pictures of these girls... and this one was no different - my camera struggled to focus for the first half-dozen shots. Fortunately I got there in the end though LOL. TTTW Woke to another heavy frost this morning!

Early February now, but a lull between the storms... not a lovely sunny day though (we had all too few of them). This is another taken sideways through the double-glazng of my other window, but the focusing seems a little better. I had quite a few pictures of her, but liked the way here head...

Again I think this is a Female Chaffinch, if not I apologise. The bit in the name that says "Beginner" isn't an accident lol.
