Another Chaffinch
I think this a young female Chaffinch, please correct me if I'm wrong...bird ID is not my strong point!

D200, 70-200VR+1.7TC, ~1/500@f5.6

I think it is too! I quite like this image - nicely composed and exposed and with the catchlight in the eye. My only minor nit would be the OOF branch in the background that drags my eye out of the picture but I realise that controlling the background isn't always possible :-)

Very different setting for a Chaffinch. Light, colours and sharpness are all very nice, but really I think the setting sets it apart from the more typical Chaffinch-shots. :toast:
