Chaffinch (Forest of Dean)

I went to the forest this morning in search of the Hawfinch. I have been told that it frequents this place, but, there was only a bunch of human beings on mushrooms searching. I watched them instead. The "mushies" were picking any old thing that they could be, which, if they don't want it, they would discard it. What a nuisance they are............... I've been ranting again!!!

  15. And i agree with you, i'll join you in the ranting as such act of disrespect of the environment eventually ends up by rules and signs forbidding you from enjoying Nature!
    But beautiful little bird and nice pic Bob. A good Sunday to you!
