Hi,
Well we had a frenzy of barn owls how about a few of these? Apparantly they are the size of greenfinch's, to me their most distiguishing feature from the greater spotted is their spotted underbellies.

Cheers now

Hi Tim

Another fine image and I quite like the composition which helps to convey how small these birds are. In 30 years of photographing I've only nailed these once!

Hi Tim
Yes an image to be proud of. Sadly a steadily declining bird I think.
