Is this my Best Side.

Went up to see my Brother-in-Law yesterday and of course checked out my late Sister's bird seeders. This young goldfinch was having a great meal so I took a few pictures from inside the conservatory.

Thought that was a bit of a CHEEP shot and you always get better images outside. I very slowly crept around the back near to the feeders and it didn't take any notice, so the picture was much better.

Now your thinking this is one of Heather's tall stories, how can that larger old lady creep anywhere, the old bones are noisy to start with, well it's not a lie so my daily cod liver oil must be working. (Wink) Better viewed with the black background.

The black background brings out the colours beautifully, great close up image.

Lovely shot Heather and this is a young goldfinch I think due to the slightly mottled feathers around his face - Fav. I take cod liver oil as well and I'm sure it does help with the creaking joints!
