Nice Warm Hide at the bottom of the garden...

Hi,

Unable to get to work now for the last three days, wishing it would stop snowing... first chance I have had to get into the garden was this morning, the Chaffinches were being particularly co-operative, may be common but they are attractive...

All the best

Phil

Pleased you kept warm Phil,that certainly is an attractive bird very sharp the snow flakes just make it a lovely image.

Hi Phil
Been keeping the seat warm for you and Fran in our front room but judging by this you won,t be needing it again !
Lovely shot
Cheers
John
PS Did have a Hawfinch in the garden for about 10 seconds the other day though!

Certainly share Jules' sentiment, I've been sitting at work wishing I was snowed in a home;-)

Lovely image, make the most of it!

Nice wintery image. No snow here, I don't know what you lot are going on about

Phil

A class image superb detail.

Nice image Phil
The snow makes a difference.
Well done.

Geoff.

All looks good, especially the view across the wings and tail.Good looking chaffinch very dark across the back.Very clean image.

Just cos chaffinches are common does not alter the fact that this is a cracking image, nice ne, love the snow falling

up to usual Phil standard in the processing stakes . Plenty of detail and the falling snow adds that extra dimension.

Spot on Phil. Its got everything. I too have been stuck at home for 2 days now and am going stir crazy.
