young greenfinch just about to take a bath

I watched a group of these young Canada geese at the park today furiously preening the last of their baby down out....they were doing it SO furiously it made me itch

manylots buzzers in the air today.. cool

Inspired by the BBC Springwatch program i went out hunting for a suitable location to take some close up pictures of birds in their natural state. (opposed to feeding tables).

anyone wishing to use this picture may do so by first contacting me and i will supply and unwatermarked high res version.
