@marlboromaam Maybe because they are the color of a raspberry ha ha. I have never heard them called raspberry finch. I think purple finch is a very strange name for this bird!
Beautiful! The colours and DOF are lovely. I love the little bird; the name reminds me of one the birds we get here, which is the red fody …. even when some of them are yellow, they’re still called a red fody. Wonderful photography, Pam.
Beautiful capture and lovely soft background with hints of colour, making this a super image. My only comment is it is a bit central and would benefit from cropping some off the right hand side.
