Male Goldfinch
We have a purple leaved flowering cherry tree in the front garden, which is only in flower for 1 week of the year.
I have hung a couple of feeders in its branches and positioned myself in the garage - what you have to do in lockdown to get a bird photo!
The light is nicest from 3.30 onwards and after about 5 the tree itself is in shade, but the tall trees behind it are lit up by the setting sun. Gives me an oppotunity to try out a bit of fill flash (not needed on this shot).
I am hoping the blossom will come out fully this week.
Taken in Norfolk.
