Mr Chaffinch busy collecting food for young in a nearby nest.
It remained still for a short period as I walked by and tried to blend with its background, not wanting to give away the location of the nest.
Below is a pair of Linnet that have a nest nearby.
They took a short break from parental duties to pose for these shots.
As you can observe they don't look their best at this busy time.
Must be a second brood for the Chaffinch but great shots of both brd species Roy
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret.

Thanks GG.
DeleteGreat captures, Roy, and I especially love Mr Chaffinch... :)
ReplyDeleteYesterday I saw green woodpecker in our garden, pecking at something on the ground for quite a long time, it was wonderful to watch it!
Thanks Petra.
DeleteHope you got some photos of it.
Sadly, I didn't. I was watching too long, trying to figure out what kind of bird it was and when I finally grabbed my camera, sun appeared from behind clouds and all the birds sitting on the ground flew away... But you know, I don't regret, it was a nice experience anyway. :)
DeleteI love those shots of the chaffinch, it's a busy time for birds with youngsters to feed and all the rain can't be making things any easier for them.
ReplyDeleteThanks D.
DeleteMr Chaffinch is very handsome.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gunilla, yes they are colourful birds, but often overlooked as they are a common species.
