I put out ‘wild bird’ seed over the last week but only seemed to attract the common sparrow. Then one chaffinch arrived and the next day two! Today a green finch flew in and I was so keen to get him as I don’t see these at all even though they are not uncommon!
Three good things:
1. Planted 10 iris(es) and John got some exercise digging several planting spots.
2. Roasted some tomato with garlic and herbs for the first time!
3. Changed to fluffy sheets and can hardly wait till I get into bed!
Flannelette sheets are one of the joys of winter! I almost envy you your cold nights! You are out of your comfort zone with a bird shot maggiemae....you have surprised us! Very pretty bird ....lots of yellow!
A gorgeous looking little bird. our finches aren't as colorful except for the goldfinches.
Fluffy sheets sound awful good. I already changed as we have Spring, but last night it got really really cold again and this morning we had frost on the cars and I saw some some on the roofs across the street. wish I still had my fluffy sheets on.
Beautiful capture -- coincidentally I had a green finch in my garden as well today , first time for ages !! - I managed to take a shot but not as good as yours my two excuses a)my kitchen window needs a clean !!! and b) I have difficulty in holding my camera steady etc with my arm !! I may post it one of these days but haven't downloaded it yet !! FAV
Lovely capture of this bird. Your pictures and words remind me that you are heading into winter as we head into summer. Those fluffy sheets sound very comfortable.
This is a really great capture of him. Well done. Enjoy your fluffy sheets - we used to use them here in winter all the time when we had a wooden house, but now we are in brick and we get too hot in them! Never knew what a difference it would make.
Great shot and beautifully clean windows. I'm impressed! I really must try to get the hang of capturing birds. I usually end up with a few leaves or a patch of sky.
Oh, he is really lovely....and, he's got something in his mouth already!! Speaking of which, again, I am salivating about those roasted tomatoes! :-)))
Adore your description of flannelette sheets........I've never slept between, them, but perhaps I should give them a try!
