[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This small Female Chaffinch had the foot disease which many Chaffinch in the forest have. It does not seem to stop them from flying but they do squat rather than stand up. but she was feeding well.

Female chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs ) One of the commonest and most widespread birds in Britain, favouring a wide variety of habitats, including gardens , parks, and woodland. In winter numbers are boosted by the influx of north European birds. The Female is uniformly buffish brown but like the males has a long prominent white shoulder patch and white wing bars. Song comprises a descending trill with a characteristic final flurish. Freeds mainly on insects during the sumer months but seeds in the winter where they often gather in large flocks.

Hello Nicholas,
A fine photo of the unfortunate chaffinch. Sorry to see that foot. I like the semi-panoramic composition and the background blur. Regards,

THis is a good composition with a very nice BG, I really like that calm greenish colour, There seems to be something wrong with the birds right foot. Do you know what that is?

Hi Nick,

Your details are too good showing off that diseased leg so well. How sad. A beautiful chaffinch with the seed in his mouth. Lovely colors, pose, and bg.

Great colors. Nice DOF and POV. Sharpness is good. Exposure is outstanding. My preference would be more room above bird's head and a little more on right side.
