    Watchful

    Back in town we visited the lower Craighall feeders. Here's Mr Chaffinch keeping an eye out for when he might be able to get a look in at the feeders!

    I spotted a movement behind the seed feeder tree and when I locked on it proved to be a Chaffinch. Wish I could get more birds there in that natural frame LOL

    Seems this Chaffinch is just wanting to spoil herself today... she's just helped herself to a suet treat (that one has mealworms in it.

    Gradually maturing

    I don't know if it's the same bird, but this Chaffinch seems to have a bit more male colouring on him than the last picture I showed you of an Immature male.

    How do I get that off!!

    A bit of a quandary for this Chaffinch, going boss-eyed trying to see what's on her bill LOL. I didn't actually see how she got rid of it though.

    A first for me

    I've never noticed this happening before but this would appear to be a young male Chaffinch just beginning to get his adult colouring, judging by the blue feathers on his neck.

    This Chaffinch seems to be very worried about something. If I ever knew what it was all about I've long forgotten I'm afraid.

    Chaffinches are just about the main species which visit our furthest away feeders. I can't work out how many pairs there are. They seem to be very fond of their food anyway!

    Considering

    It seems to me that this Chaffinch is thoughtfully tasting a seed to see if it is really to his taste. I'm surprised no-one got the species in my picture yesterday... it was the Marsh Harrier which I showed you just a week before, in the same tree. I'd not zoomed in so much though LOL.

    I keep telling other members how much I love pictures of birds peeking out from behind foliage, but it's not all that often I manage to take them. This Chaffinch obliged.

  21. Considering

    Considering

    When I go up to our feeding stations I like to try and record what species are there each time. I generally start with the easy shots, such as the ones on the feeders. After that I concentrate on getting more natural shots, like this male Chaffinch in a tree. They often land on a branch before...

    Great tit or Chaffinch call? Spain

    Hi all, I'm currently annotating bird calls and songs from an olive grove in Madrid province, Spain. This recording is from December of 2020. All recordings were made automatically from a passive audio device, both species are common in the area. I was wondering if anyone is aware of any way...
