Chaffinch

This very large tree is a White Beam (Sorbus Aria) - according to the name plate on its trunk. It is in Queenstown Gardens and at the moment the small birds are loving the orange berries. I really enjoyed watching them.

Wow - you've had great luck with the birds. This is another lovely one. I love how you caught him with the seed in his mouth.

I nearly posted a chaffinch shot today. Am pleased I didn’t as this is far superior in every respect.

@pdulis @elkereturns Thanks so much
@maggiemae Thanks Maggie - he was probably only about 4 metres away. The tricky part was trying to find and then focus on a small bird amongst the leaves of the tree.
