The greenfinch is a beautiful bird, which has seen a dramatic decline in recent years in the UK.

This chap certainly looks a tad unhappy with the world.

I cloned out the buildings and slightly clarified this but it's otherwise as is. It's ugly to be out there in the cold but it's so stinking beautiful!

Grey Wagtail chick

We have seven tiny Blue Tit chicks that feed at our Breakfast Club each day... I had to name this chubby one Grumpy. This angle reminds me of that shot of Trump playing tennis, so I think Grumpy fits.
