Understated Beauty

I went back to Hubbards Hills today to see if I could get some photographs of the different hedgerow birds. I got some stunning pics, but my favourite is this thoughtful, understated ,beautiful female chaffinch. The male is much more colourful, almost flambouyant, but this little lady melted my heart.

The pic I almost used for todays blip was quite interesting. A brown rat climbed the tree where I had hung a fat ball for the birds and started nibbling away. Ratty was just a little out of focus so unfortunately will not grace this page.
