Goldfinch in the Blossom
The tree outside my window has been attracting a lot of birds in the last few days since the blossom started to open. This morning I looked out and saw a group of Long Tailed Tits, but by the time I had grabbed my camera and lens they were gone. A few minutes later they were back but the light had faded and I struggled to get a good shot of the fast moving birds in low light before they were gone again. I was putting my camera away when I looked out again and saw some Goldfinches and the sun was shining. This time I managed to get a shot framed by the surrounding blossom as the Goldfinch took a rest between mouthfuls - you can see some blossom on the beak.
