Great studies of an often overlooked bird, Bob, which deserves this sort of attention as their plumage is really quite special. It's a pity about the legs on that first female. It's a condition that, until this year, I'd only seen on Chaffinches but this year we have a female Bullfinch visiting regularly which appears to have the same disease.
Hello Bob, Superb pictures of the finches, the males are magnificent with the bridal plumage. The most beautiful colors are not yet totally there! The paw gall is more and more present in Europe. This year has been less in my home, phew. I hope that you are well. I don't have much time left to visit the blogs, but I pass by from time to time. Your pictures are still beautiful.
Hello Bob, Another superb series of images , this time of the dear Chaffinch, a bird overlooked by many, but captured in all the splendor, thanks. Stay safe and well, John
Hello Bob,
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful birds, gorgeous photos. Well done! Have a happy day and weekend!
Gorgeous birds. What is wrong with the 3rd one? His leg looks sore. Hope he is okay :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ananka
DeleteThe decease is the Papillomaviruses, it happened when they young, it doesn't harm it anyway. Although, some may it hurt psychology.
Lovely captures Bob. They are certainly looking good at this time of the year.
