Goldfinch
1D2n, 600mm f4 is x1.4 TC, 1/80s, f8, iso 400. FFlash, slight crop.

I have only had a brief glimpse of one of these before so, I was pleased to get a couple of frames this morning. He was in deep shade. I think the reds might be a little hot, but I'm happy nonetheless!

Thats a great shot.

That "ghostly" branch in the BG, seems to go well with the image aswell.

Very nice indeed, but a minor nit is that I'm not sure about the cut off end to the perch.
