Hello Woofers.
Daisy here.
Well, we got another rain-soaked day here in North Kent but the day was saved by the fact there was little work for OTL to do and he could spend some time playing with his camera gear.
The renewed interest in the camera stuff has grown from the booking he has made to visit the Treshnish Isles off the top of Mull.
Then afterwards we stop off to Staffa to see Fingals Cave and then Lung to photograph the Puffins before they finish breeding and head off for another year!
So, to get a bit of practice OTL set up his VBL (Very Big Lens) on the big tripod. Now, our garden isn't that big and we got what OTL thinks is a Japanese tree with its roots on one side of the garden and the branches stretch half way across the garden. Anyway, we get the birds ducking and diving on and off the feeders and into the tree.
The rain was still filling the pond but he got a couple of shots of a Goldfinch and one that was a Greenfinch of it may have been a Yellow Hammer!
What do you reckon?
Now, we know this is a Goldfinch.
Now this is the problem one, Greenfinch have a yellow/green breast but this one seems to have an excess of yellow!
Greenfinch or Yellow Hammer?
Looking at the picture again, I reckon it's a Greenfinch.
If tomorrow is anything like today I reckon OTL will be trying to catch a few more birds in the tree!
See you tomorrow.
Luv,
Daisy.
