Chardonneret jaune.

Le plumage du mâle est d'un jaune éclatant. ses ailes, sa queue et son front sont noirs. Il a le croupion blanchâtreet des barres alaires. Ce plumage nupcial si attirant change à la mue automnale. Ilarbore alors un plumage plus sombre semblable à celui de la femelle. La femelle possède un plumage jaune olive terne et ses ailes ont une couleur noirâtre avec des barres alaires. Le dessous est jaunâtre. On note l'absence de calotte noir et d'épaulettes jaune. Les sous-caudales sont blanches. Le mâle et la femelle émettent une sorte de gazouillis ressemblant à celui du serin. Il fréquente les endroits â découvert, les champs en friche, l'orée des bois et les forêts de feuillus, les fern=mes et les jardins de banlieue. il se nourrit aux silos à chardon, aux mangeoires sélectives et aux plateaux d'alimentation. Il consomme aussi de l'alpiste, du millet blanc, des noix hachées, du colza et du mais concassé. En de rares occasions, on le verra se nourrir de suif ou de beurre d'arachide.Il mange aussi des graines de différentes fleurs.

This is beautiful, Joseph. The bird perched on top of the plant (?) is a wonderful pose and I really like the composition. Fantastic colors both on the bird and the BG. Very well done!

Joseph, another great bird shot by you.

Excellent sharpness, pov and composition.

The catchlight in the eye is a great "bonus".

I enjoyed Henry's workshop too.

Well done on a great shot. Sorry this is rushed, almost out of battery power on my note book. Well done. Thanks.

Hi Joseph! I do not have the time to write a decent comment. I give to you the well deserved smiley.

Thank you for sharing pictures and notes and for the enjoyment which they give to me.

Have a wonderfull morning, afternoon, evening, night! ;-)

Bonjour Joseph,
Magnifique photo de ce petit chardonneret jaune. Composition, netteté et couleurs sont excellentes. Vous avez su isoler votre sujet sur un arrière-plan flou.
Bien vu!
Hélène

Une douceur à regarder. Les teintes de l'arrière-plan se marient très bien avec celles de l'oiseau.
Une autre photo très réussie. Félicitations, Joseph.
