[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was on the prowl for taking a good shot (never got any) of my favorite grebe species of europe, (The Slavonian Grebe, or Horned Grebe for you new world inhabitants) in scotland at loch ruthven. I ended up with this nice shot of a female chaffinch flying her lungs out trying to feed her screaming chicks, while the male was singing in a tree nearby, being pretty. (Sounds familiar?). I love the blue sky with the yellow lichens on the rock. Hope you all like it too

Hi Jeroen,

A nice shot of a female chaffinch, good focus and dof. Good natural colours and a good background showing the bird well. I like the pose on the rock and the bird with it meal. TFS

regards Bill.
