Greenfinch
Carduelis chloris
TR: Florya

*The Greenfinch is a familiar garden bird since it was one of the first species to master the knack of feeding from red peanut bags. The male can be quite conspicuously green but in females and juveniles this may not be so obvious. Such birds can still be identified though by the pale yellow panels in the closed primaries and in the sides of the tail.

Breeds in gardens, parks, scrub and hedges. Winters on farmland and in gardens

Widespread and numerous in most of Europe except Lapland. 12-15 million breeding pairs across most of Europe except the Scandinavian Highlands.

Beautiful image of this Greenfinch!
The composition is excellent!
Great sharpness and clarity.
Brilliant DOF.
A couple of years ago I found a stunned Greenfinch on the side of a road. It couldn't fly and it was blind so, fearing a cat-attack or something, I took it home and put it in a big, old parrot cage. I kept it for several months until finally it pushed up the daisies. But I think it had quite a good life anyway and in the Summer when all the wild Greenfinch were chirping away, we'd put our finch outside in her cage so she could chirp back. It's so sad she couldn't see or fly though :-(

Anyway,
thanks very much for sharing this Selen!

Joe

Selen,

Splendid colors here on the bird that bring it out even better, great timing and lighting (including here the very nice fill-in flash).
Wonderful DOF work and good composition, too.

Hi Selen.
Simply amazing bird picture and superb fill flash work. I like excellent POV and composition of the shot. I am also impressed with terrific sharpness and details of all features of the bird and dry twigs. Timing is superb too as well as the smooth BG. My greetings and TFS.
Alexei.

The presentation is very good Selen.
I enjoy seeing the depth of field like this. The catchlight in eyes worked well. Those little beads from the branches make a nice composition for the bird.
Best to you
