Hi Nick,

I have never seen this beautiful bird before and this is a wonderful introduction. Such beautiful colors! Marvelous details showing off his plummage and face with the lovely eye. Fine pose and background. I hope you get a shot of the female.

Hi Nicholas...

I have a pair in my garden as well, but I have never managed to get anything like this, so am quite envious of you. Mine love sunflower seed hulls, and seem to live in our bird feeder fighting off other birds.

Hope you managed to get the female as well. the colours, DOF and composition are great here.

Are not finches one of the most colorful of the more common birds. Mine are flitty and hard to capture. Your patience shows as does your mastery of the lens.

Wow Nick, what a great achievement! Your garden must be a haven for British birds and wildlife by now. How beautiful is this male Bullfinch, perfectuly captured with all its wonderful plumage in great detail and colours. You are a champion in achieving this so well! A fine bird with a perfect pov and pose, I am jealous beyond belief. This could be one for the Nat Geo. You are now a master. Beautiful compositon and technically superb.
Prize winner.

Hi Nick,
i haven't seen one of these for a long time,you're lucky to have a visitor like this to your garden. Anything that dares to venture into mine is normally eaten within seconds by a gang of cats!
Beautiful colour and composition...still no sign of a new toy yet i see..

hello Nicholas,
Very nice picture of the Bullfinch. This bird reminds me of my childhood, when a lot of Bullfinches gathered on trees close to my house. I never saw these gatherings again.
Happy to see that you have some in your garden.
Best regards
