WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY

This week I am featuring images I shot at the National Trust Property,  Mount Stewart.  As I approached the reception, a friendly male Chaffinch was there to greet me.  I am linking this post with WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY.







Many thanks for visiting and also for leaving comments.

    What a charmer - and well colour co-ordinated with the building too.

    Hello, Margaret! Your chaffinch is a beautiful bird. Lovely photos. BTW, did I miss you posting your Costa Rica birds? I do not remember seeing any? Have a happy day and week ahead!

      HI Eileen I am asheamed to say no I have not shown them, I took so many photographs and was overwhelmed by them all. Of course when I came back, I did more photography and never got back to the ones from Costa Rica and now I doubt if I could name a lot of the birds which is another thing that is stopping me.

    That chaffinch is a beautifully colored bird, and you got some beautiful shots of him. That first one is especially nice.

    A very obliging chaffinch. I've been to a couple of places where they will eat out of you hand.

    I recognize that finch bill from 'real life', but this is definitely one I've only seen on blogs. Beautiful bird.
