Garden Bird Watch

I'm often out shooting birds. Sometimes the talking type and sometimes the winged version, and here are a few recent snaps for you to enjoy. All photos taken in the garden at home in the last week or so. The first one is a Chaffinch. Or as we like to call it a Bofink. It's a very common bird and there are around 10 million to be found in Sweden. The second photo shows a Tree Sparrow. It's a fledgling fluttering it's wings to get the parents to feed it. We call this bird Pilfink. Lastly a Greenfinch that can be found all over Europe. The Swedish name is Grönfink.

Chaffinch

A Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs). We call it a Bofink. It has a very pleasant song. I was sitting on a home made bench in front of the house when the bird started singing. Very enjoyable for me but not for the cat Tindra who did what she could to catch it when it landed on the veranda floor a little later.
