Two different Chaffinches, the first is ok, but, the second one has Bumblefoot, Avian pox. It is horrible to you and I, but, it doesn't affect the poor birds.
Great images Bob there seems to be a lot of suffering birds in the UK at the moment.. Another driving vid ftom the loopy guy tomorrow...I hope it makes a bit more sense about what I was trying to achieve... Take care
wow! glad it doesn't really hurt them!
ReplyDeleteMister Bushell beautiful shots again. I hope the bird does not feel any pain. Have a great weekend.

Bob , What causes this. It's a calcium excrescence or disease?
ReplyDeleteYou saw the Chaffinch on my post Bob, but you've got the more colourful Male :-)
ReplyDeleteLieber Bob,
ReplyDeletees ist traurig, wenn die armen Tiere leiden müssen.
Wir können ihnen nicht helfen.

ReplyDeleteBob, both birds look beautiful. I do feel sorry for the second one, though.
ReplyDeleteAww he looks like he stepped in something...

Never saw this condition on birds. I have seen the disease around the eyes of finches but don't know what it is called. It eventually blinds them.
ReplyDeleteooooh, poor little second bird...looks like he has a cast on his leg...at least it doesn't bother him...and his leg's not *rotting away* underneath :/
ReplyDeletegreat pictures...as always. and thanks for letting us know what was going on with that bird...i wouldn't have known if i had spotted him!
Gorgeous birds, I am glad to hear this pox does not affect the birds. Great shots, Bob!
ReplyDeleteOh, my, I've never heard of such a thing. Poor bird. What would cause this?
