....she'd have put a smile on his face :biggrin:

One from my old D200 vaults. I could sit and watch Greenfinches for ages hogging the feeders and squabbling with other birds, until that is, the Tree Spugs come along, then they're gone :wink:

D200
Sig 500mm f4.5
ISO 250
1/350th @ f8

Post would have been CapOnePro and CS2

As always, thanks for looking - including you lurkers :biggrin: :toast: :toast:

Absolutely spot on in all respects

:biggrin: Thanks a lot Andy. A just saw a bit of a smile on his face. But it isn't much I can tell you. My Greenfinch is one sad and grumpy bird.

Well captured Andy with a soft light on the bird. Well done.
