Bird on the wire by shannejw

Bird on the wire

Not the clearest shot as this is at the top zoom on my compact camera, a goldfinch singing its heart out on a television aerial, taken because I wanted to know what was singing on the top of a house, as that wasn't the right sort of song for that situation. Titled for the Leonard Cohen song, Bird on the Wire for the Song Challenge which is celebrating its 50th iteration. In the hope of keeping with the spirit of the celebration, I did check the lyrics of 50 Cent Animal Ambition, but no, just no.

I was trying to get jackdaws in flight, and I have a lot of one jackdaw sitting looking at me from various vantage points and flying the minute I turned away distracted.

Three good things:
1. Daughter came out twice for walks (although still not great)
2. Found micro eggs for planned Easter nests
3. Timed our wander around the shops well last night, doing well with reduced bargains

Thank you for looking and all your amazing comments and favs. I prefer to look at your pictures rather than thank you individually below.
Lovely image and fabulous song, especially by Leonard Cohen 😊

Nicely done - this isn't an easy shot to take, and you've created a great result.

Such a great high key shot! Your gold finches are so much brighter with more colour than ours. A very pretty bird.

Such a pretty bird and I'm sure his song hit all the right notes. :)
