As a rule I rarely do Avian, not sure why, but when the occasion arises well, it's good fun and can still be just as testing at times too. Having put up more bird boxes along one my stretches in between the monsoons, I noticed that there were a pair of Bullfinches floating around, so with the camera close at hand I set too to getting some images and this is one of them. Sadly with adding feeders and bird boxes this is now a great mobile kitchen for either the Sparrow hawk or Goshawk that seems to be patrolling this location. As I took this shot he/she grabbed a snack!
