2nd May 2015 - Exit Stage Left

I am still trying to catch this chaffinch as he hovers near the bird feeder but he has been too quick for me so far. I was watching him on the bush and he suddenly took off - just caught him!!

Not as sharp as I would like and a bit noisy. Unfortunately its a Bank Holiday here in the UK and the weather is horrible - dull dull dull!! Typical!!

Many thanks for your great comments on my shots - very much appreciated!!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Heehee! I see exactly where he was and where you focused! Slippery little fellow (or gal). And a fun shot of your activity.

@taffy This is the same chaffinch which was sitting on the fence all puffed up. He definitely is not lethargic!!

I have the same trouble trying to capture chaffinches in my garden. I have ended up with a lot of blurry pictures or just parts of a bird. Well done for getting all of him. I haven't bother to post any of mine they are that bad.:(
