    Default Common Chaffinch

    A fat chaffinch this spring. Sweden's next common bird, but I still like this. Hope you do too. I like the colors most of all.

    Shot out of my car window.

    Nikon D3, Nikon Nikkor AF-S 600mm f/4G ED VR, Nikon AF-S TC-14E II = 850 mm

    1/160s, f/6,3, iso 200

    Beautiful species , beautiful colors and detail. BG is a bit distracting , but still a fine image.

    That certainly is a fat male Chaffinch! Good shot of him.

    Looks like it was cold on the day, he's quite fluffed up, Nice little fella, and nice detail, like his curvy branch too, not sure about the upright twigs on the left, but no biggy I dont think, sweet shot
