Slender Chaffinch

That boring week between christmas and new year, how I hate it!

Here's a shot of a chaffinch to lighten the mood!
Happy boxing day everyone.

What a fabulous shot, it feels like you could reach out and touch it, it lifted my spirits!

[Linda C]

Lovely shot. Is that a bit of snow on the car? We haven't had any yet here in Scotland.

[john stanier]

Great shot, super detail.

@monkeykid thanks Therese :) although the amount of years I've spent in retail have always scuppered this time of year for me! This'll be the first year in 18 that I've been out of retail over the Christmas period.

[Darren Juden]

@bizziebeeme thank you :)

[Darren Juden]

[Christine]

Good shot. I use this week to recover and recharge batteries! Hope you had a great Christmas

[Darren Juden]

@chris17 thanks Christine, I did! Enjoy your recharging :)

[Carol W]

Beautiful shot and wonderful colour and detail. I agree with you, this week is a bit boring, I wish we didn't have two major holidays right on top of one another - perhaps we could move New Year's Eve to October? ;)

[Darren Juden]

@sturnus thanks Carol - yeah that'd be good - it always seems a bit of a slog until new year after today :( hope you and Mr W had a great time :)

[Marie]

I see this picture twice, is that what you wanted?
But it's agreat one!

[Darren Juden]

@lichtecht it's a similar shot - but not the same bird - the other one us much plumper!! It's a great spot for capturing these chaps and they are always reliable!!

[Marie]

@darrenboyj Aaah, I see... and I thought my eyes were kidding me!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Nice shot!

[Sarah Munnings]

beautifully captured chaffinch :)
know what you mean about this week. All my family are back at work tomorrow and I was hoping for a day for me out with my camera, but the forecast sounds awful, so might be doing some indoor photography instead.

[Margaret Brown]

Nice capture!

[Michelle]
