Feed The Birds!

·

, , , , ,

This was taken yesterday in my back garden. We had some beautiful light after a very dull start to the day and I took advantage of it.
I used the Canon 75-300 IS lens but the bird feeder is about 3m away from my backdoor so I can’t get as close as I’d like. This is a very close crop of a much larger image. The original crop is 1188×1188 pixels but I really like how this came out.
There is purple fringing on the highlight around his mouth, and in his eye but it’s not too bad thankfully!

Aperture ƒ/7.1

    Donncha, this one is a greenfinch. I believe it gets its name from the fact that its a member of the finch family and it’s fairly green. I might be wrong, though.

    Amazing shot! Perfect timing! What is he eating?

    Those are peanuts. They go mad for them! It’s amazing to see about a dozen birds waiting on the fence for their chance to eat!
    Thanks Matt, I hoped you’d know what type of bird it is!
