I am not generally that successful at bird photography even when I have consciously gone out to see birds. This shot of the chaffinch was pure luck. Mary and I were on a walk recently I had taken a shot or two of some wild flowers . I spotted the bird and took a couple of shots without changing settings not really expecting anything reasonable. In fact I am quite pleased with this one I know it could be sharper but for a grab shot its not too bad . It is very heavily cropped

Hope you are all managing to cope in this strange New World we are living in . Of course I hope you and yours remain well and safe

THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

I have been complaining over the years our Northern Mockingbirds are Bossy and chasing all the birds from the feeders,

Have not seen them lately, perhaps thats why for 5 minutes it was lifting its wings as to tell me here I am!

I am lost in a rainbow

Now our rainbow is gone

Overcast by your shadow

As our worlds move on

In this shirt I can be you

To be near you for a while

In this shirt I can be you

To be near you for a while

There's a crane knocking down

All these things that we were

I awake in the night

To hear the engines pout

There's a pain, it does ripple

Through my frame, makes me lame

There's a thorn in my side

It's the shame, it's the prize

Of you and me, ever changin'

Moving on now, moving fast

And this touch must be wanting

Must become through your ask

But I mean dare to tell you

That I love you - it never ends

And I bled everyday now

For a year, for a year

I did send you a note

On the wind for to read

Our names there together

Must've fallen like the sea

To the depths of the soil

Buried deep in the ground

On the wind I can hear you

Call my name, held the sound

I am lost

I am lost in a rainbow

Now our rainbow is gone

I am lost in a rainbow

Now our rainbow is gone

I am lost, I am lost

I am lost, I am lost

I am lost, I am lost

Am I Blue?

Am I blue

Am I blue

Ain't these tears in my eyes telling you

Am I blue

You'd be too

If each plan

With your man

Done fell through

Was a time

I was his only one

But now I'm

The sad and lonely one, lordy

Was I gay

'Til today

Now he's gone and we're through

Am I blue

Was I gay

'Til today

Now he's gone and we're through

Am I blue

Oh, he's gone, he left me

Am I blue
