Field Notes

Description:

This beautiful male Chaffinch is also very common on my rooftop, only he has not the skills or doesn't dare to jump on the bird feeders. so he is just eating all the fallen seeds on the roof. really a beauty comparing with the female Chaffinch, she doesn't have the nice orange/blue feathering.

No I don't lean out of the window, My room has a dormer and have perfect sight on the roof. I just take the picture behind the window. not always so nice sharp picture if the glass is a little blur. but sometimes I am lucky!

Do you lean out a window to get these pictures? Very nice!
