fringilla coelebs

  1. Colorful

    Colorful

    Common Chaffinch, however humble the name might seem, is one of the most colorful birds we have in Norway.

    You spoke?

    She was heading for the tube feeder that I'd re-positioned to the 'new perch' branch. Couldn't resist that inquisitive look! TTTW

    Having buried his face in the snow and retrieved that seed, he promptly dropped it!

    Replacing

    .... the male Chaffinch; this is more or less where he'd sat at the base of the beech hedge a couple of days before. Had a good old look about before moving on to where she wanted to go. TTTW

    Rehearsal

    Practicing her responses to his song. Still a while to wait for him to serenade her. Now a month-and-a-half later, I've heard Great Tits singing but not the Chaffinches yet.

    Lots of birds that day but not very good images as it was dark and very wet!! I guess they were hungry after the snow had melted. TTTW

    Starling, Chaffinch and Blackbird forming a socially distanced circle but it looks like they've formed a tableau for a new stage play! LOL They all seem to be happily feeding on their own food patch. Saturday fun, TTTW

    More snow

    Yep... a few days later back the snow came, before the previous lot had completely gone, so we had thick ice under a thick layer of snow. Not a good combination! My first visitor that morning was this colourful Chaffinch. TTTW

    These are mine

    I don't see so many Chaffinch at those feeders, often spotting them in the trees around or on the ground, but they move around so quickly I didn't seem to get many pictures. This one, though, sat nicely for me don't you think.

    Not much of this Chaffinch showing really, but liked the image with the red berries and the leaves beginning to get their autumnal colours.

  20. Oh, oh!!

    Oh, oh!!

    I managed to fit in a very long overdue visit to Kinnordy, what with the long holiday, then winter weather with the lockdown, it was nearly a year since I'd last been there. Unfortunately the hides weren't open (and still aren't BTW), so you can't get views over the water. However, the feeding...

    ,,, maybe she'll think I'm not really interested! It does rather look like the Blue Tit has lost interest in that feeder, doesn't it.

    In the shadows

    It was rather tricky taking pictures really as I was standing in full sun and the feeders were in dappled light, some of it dark and bits really bright. I had to play about with this image, as she was very dark and the feeder was over-exposed. Mmmm.... well at least you can see her I think!

    Fly in

    We were looking around us trying to find a Yellowhammer that was singing, when something flew from across the new road and landed in the top of a tree about a hundred yards up the road. I couldn't make it out in my bins... just a blob and the light was wrong. So with the help of my friend's...

    How do I get at it

    Back at the new feeding station, still wanting to find out what visits there. Sooooo... having previously seen a female, I then saw a male Chaffinch - he looks very tall, doesn't he LOL

    On the rails

    My first sighting of a Chaffinch at the new feeder area. This lady was sitting on an old crash barrier which had been placed to stop cars falling down into the gorge. There were many of these along the twisty old road!
