Cornwall - in the thread title.There is no indication as to where it was taken, which should appear in the thread title
I agree, I did ask and unfortunately this is all I have to go off.Is this the only image you have? It would be much (much) better if your friend could supply the actual photo rather than a photo of a photo on a monitor.
I agree,If it were just the back half I would hazard female Bullfinch - front half not so much, but there could be strange light/shadow things going on
Edit: Actually imm Bullfinch is not a bad fit
That may well be a good shoutJay?
Sounds like an interpretation of the photo that I'd not considered. Which end of the bird-like blob do you think the head is at?I think that what looks like a longer bill is actually the end of a protruding twig behind the bird
LOL it's not quite as bad as that. You can (I think) see a lighter outline of the shorter finch-like bill over the protrusion. I'm beginning to think the part of the apparently long tail is also a twigSounds like an interpretation of the photo that I'd not considered. Which end of the bird-like blob do you think the head is at?
I do - (well far right-hand for the tail) - originally thought it was a long tail partially concealed by a piece of vegetation but now I think it is shorter. At the left hand end I was wondering how there could be a disembodied twig behind the bill but I now think it is joined to the bush somewhere round the bird's legs.So you think there is a twig sticking out behind the far left-hand end of the bird?
