Hi,
this bird is very common here but difficult to get on a perch!

Thanks for your  last comments, specially to Chris for his suggestion.
Regards

Nice to see this again, as a young lad growing up in England I successfully bred Chaffies along with other British Finches.

They build a wonderful nest lined with moss and lichen. Nice capture.

Regards,

Rob

Wonderful shot! Nice soft BG, great pose and details on the bird. I think the perch is interesting but maybe a bit too big for the subject. I would also try to get some more detail out of the whites on the bird.

Love everything about this. The perch, the milky yet colorful OOF background, and the detail of the bird.
