Cold and wet.

April 3rd: Birds.

This chap (now found out it's a she) was more than happy to oblige me for a photo last September in Wales. She was cold and wet and looking for some food to eat.
I've no idea what type of bird she is, but i'm sure someone will be kind enough to let me know :)

She's a chaffinch! (Thanks to everyone who's commented!)

Beautiful details on his feathers. Whoever he is, I think he's wearing his winter colors.

[Jacqui Paterson]

I love the detail in the feathers you have captured. Great composition. The bird contrasts beautifully with the background. Lovely.

[Ann Stenson]

Aww Darren, such wonderful focus & detail on this sweet little chap....im pretty certain it is a Sparrow! : ]

[Justine Wood]

Bet he's colder and wetter now too...
Love the detail you've captured here... And blimey, what an obliging little chap to sit there while you took it!

[Carol W]

It's a she! She's a female chaffinch. She was posing very prettily for you, lovely shot.

[Sue Wilde]

Beautiful detail here

I agree she's a chaffinch. Not as colourful as her male (ain't it the way!) but she's beautiful all the same.
