Hi,
Continuing with the birdy series taken in the Nelson Lakes National Park on New Zealand's South Island, this is a shot of a colourful bird, a Chaffinch.
Again takne whilst at the DOC campsite, this cheecky little chappy tried to upstage the Robin in the amount of time it spent in front of the lens!

Fringilla coelebs

The chaffinch is the UK’s second commonest breeding bird, and is arguably the most colourful of the UK's finches. Its patterned plumage helps it to blend in when feeding on the ground and it becomes most obvious when it flies, revealing a flash of white on the wings and white outer tail feathers. It does not feed openly on bird feeders - it prefers to hop about under the bird table or under the hedge. You’ll usually hear chaffinches before you see them, with their loud song and varied calls.(source: RSPB). equally common in NZ.

PP just crop and sharpen, border and RS for TL

Hope you like him,

Take care,

John

Hi John
Great shot. Good detail. Good background. I wonder about the spec of white on the birds forhead. The frame is rather too thick for my taste. However I do like the image overall. TFS
