Another Goldfinch - sorry!

[Ewan]

I know this isn't a great shot technically as it is cropped quite a bit, but I like these birds so much I just wanted to share it :)

Thanks for looking.

Don't be sorry Ewan, I could look at these beautiful little birds all day long. Lovely shot.

[Brains]

Don't apologise Ewan....that's what the forums are here for.

Nice shot....lovely colourful bird. You'd love the lakes around here....loads of different species.

[Ewan]

Thanks for your comments guys :)

I do love the lakes around there Brains - been to NW (I gather that's where you mean :D) on holiday quite a few times :) Unfortunately only had my little fuji camera then :(

[Lady Pitstop]

That's a good 'un :thumbs:

Most small bird shots are cropped Ewan, Another beauty here mate, Keep them coming, I never tire of seeing Goldfinches..:)

[madmitch]

Very nice Ewan, colours look spot on :thumbs:

[Ewan]

Cheers everyone :)

I'll try and get some more tomorrow - the trouble is predicting when they are going to come as their visits are very...well...unpradictable!

[Greg]

Really nice pic.

[Venomator]

:agree: Ewan ... no-one should apologise for posting pics on these here forae ... :suspect: ... especially when it is one of our prettiest little finches depicted really rather well as in your image ... :thumbs:


It's a lovely pic and so much better than taking them through glass too ... ;)




:p

Great shot Ewan :clap: Im yet to get close enough :(

[oldgit]

Great shot. Dont see many birds in my garden. Even then only woodies and sparras

[Messiah Khan]

Great to see you getting better and better Ewen. Its a great little shot you have there. Slight shame about the background which I find a little distraction, but other than that nice work.:thumbs:

[Ewan]

Thanks everyone :)

Richie - it's just a case of moving very, very slowly! Or in my case, hiding behind a door :lol:

I agree with you on the background MK - it's a bit distracting but better than a bright sky I guess :)

Nothing wrong with sparrows OG!

[davidbridges]

great shot, i wish i had a garden, all ive got is a yard and the only we get here are jackdaws and occasionally some bluetits. I personally like the backround it goes with the colours of the bird so its not a clash or too distracting. But get some more shots up here soon !

[Ewan]

DB - I don't have much of a garden either. I think we get goldfinches, collared doves, blackbirds and wood pigeons but that's about it. Do you have any feeders/a bird table?

[davidbridges]

Got a table but its never been used but ive just rang my mum and i think shes going to get some stuff for it, so that should be good.

[Ewan]

Sounds great :)

For goldfinches you'll want Niger (aka Thistle) seed in a feeder. They love it :D
