[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The greenfinch is a well-known bird as it often visits gardens and drives other birds away from feeders. It is a relatively heavy looking bird, with a chunky bill and a stout body. It can be recognised by the yellow outer-most wing feathers (the primaries) which are visible when the bird is perching, the yellow flashes on the tail, seen easily when the bird is in flight, and the greenish underparts. Males have a yellowish-green breast and are much more yellow than the duller greyish female. Juveniles are similar to females, but are streaked. A twittering call is produced in flight; other vocalisations include a canary-like song and a wheezy, nasal ‘dschruuuuuh’.

I think this is a great image Alper. The finch is very good focussed in a fine background, but the best of this image is its composition framed by the leaves.
Well done.

Nice capture Alper,
You've captured the details very well, and nice and sharp.
Colours are good, and the shot is well composed.
Thanks for posting
