Day 185/365: Greenfinch

[nanila]

This greenfinch popped along whilst I was photographing a very regal-looking wood pigeon perched atop a tangle of bare hawthorn branches by the canal. It sang the loveliest song, posed for a few shots and then departed, leaving me jumping for joy at nabbing the best shots I’ve ever gotten of a greenfinch.

Having been unexpectedly very busy at work, I'm off to the pub to celebrate Revolting Colonial Day.

We've had them in too.

It's also been an amazingly good year for goldfinches!

Enjoy being a revolting colonial!

See userpic! :op

[nanila]

Yes, the goldfinches abound in the hedgerows!

Mmmm, tea. ;)

*salutes you, from a Servile British Subject to a Revolting Colonial*

[nanila]

It's weird being both. :P

[haggis]

*nods* I am glad you are here :)

We are, aren't we, nowadays, revolting? I kinda feel a need to apologize to the world, except we're not done yet. :-(

[nanila]

I agree that the full depths of our revolting potential have not yet been plumbed. :(

♥ I feel it looks very determined in this photo, too.

It's so pretty! <3

[nanila]

Agreed; its colouring is lovely!

Oh, great, now I am earwormed with "Green Finch and Linnet Bird" from Sweeney Todd.

Whoops! Sorry about that!
