One from the garden last week. These guys cost me a fortune in sunflower hearts but well worth it as they are so photogenic. Thanks for looking.

Such a beautiful bird. We have them here, but I have never even seen them, let alone photograph them. This is a wonderful capture. Well done.

Utterly stunning! That's a GORGEOUS bird; I'd spend the money to draw them in, too, if they were around.

That is a wonderfully colorful finch Roy, and a beautiful capture of same.
I pay the sunflower heart bill for much less colorful finches so we hope you keep it up - :)
