[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken at the Las Arkonski, Szczecin.
The Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae, also called a spink. Its large double white wing bars, white tail edges and greenish rump easily identify this 14-16 cm long species. The breeding male is unmistakable, with his reddish underparts and a blue-grey cap. The female is drabber and greener, but still obvious. This bird is widespread and very familiar throughout Europe. It is the most common finch in western Europe. Its range extends into western Asia, northwestern Africa, the Canary Islands and Madeira.
PL – zięba.

Hello Olgierd,

I have been trying to capture a chaffinch in my garden without a lot of success. He is very cautious because we have cats!

Anyway, you have got a good close-up of this male searching for food on the ground. The feather marlings are clear and it is nicely composed.
It is a tad dull and perhaps a little soft.
I have done a little w/s which I hope you will like.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
