Gold Finch

I had a really good morning today in my own backyard. It was like Hitchcock's The Birds. Hawk, Downys, Nuthatchs, Finches, Sparrows and Chickadees. It was the best day of the year and I don't know why. I will post more later.

In one word, PERFECT! Lovely shot with everything coming together really well. Nice going Paul!

I agree with keith it's perfect shot. This is one good shot of a bird with good colours and detail.
My area today was nothing but rain and no sign of any birds in my garden. Well done Paul.

Thanks Keith and Tony. I was happy with this one too.

Happy? I'd be over the bloody moon!

You could not ask for better detail, exposure or bokeh. Beautiful shot!

You're too good...!

This shot is perfect in every way. Simply amazing.

no wonder i love looking at your posts!! just wow!!

Beautiful shot with great detail, bokeh, colours, everything! Very well done, good work.

Wow is that a keeper that shot is just perfect no flaws that i can see. great job.

Well focused and nicely exposed capture, and the colors and bokeh are beautiful. Well done Paul.

Thanks all and thanks Tina for the very kind words. Again, this was one I was very happy with.

Well, I don't think you could do any better than that. Very, very well done.

Very nice job on a majestic pose. Light, focus and all are very nice.

As for those days when the birds just seem to be all over the place and in full force, I had one of those days today. I know exactly what you are talking about.
