Chaffinch ( Fringilla coelebs ) One of the commonest and most widespread birds in Britain, favouring a wide variety of habitats including gardens, parks and woodland. In winter numbers are boosted by the influx of north european birds. Song comprises a descending trill with a characteristic final flurish. Feeds mainly on Insects during the summer months but seeds in the winter where they often gather in large flocks.

Hi Nick,
I love the colors of this bird. That shade of tan with black and trimmed in white look so good together. Great exposure. Focus is outstanding too with good detail on feathers. Nice glint of light in eye. Good pose of subject and excellent DOF.
Ken

Muy buenas Nick
Un punto de vista poco usual en la fotografia de aves, un plano picado que aporta una visión distinta del ave, la verdad es que es interesante la foto al igual que el ave que esta bien capturada.
Un saludo

Hi Nicholas, splendid bird in great pose with wonderful colors, excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

You managed really nice sharpness, OOF background, good exposure and beautiful natural colors. I do notice a sharpening halo along the high contrast edges. It shows up more on some monitors than on others.
