Great pics as usual. Especially love the finches. Believe it or not we have recently started getting Goldfinches in our garden here, only since the big fires around here in 2009. No Greenfinches though.

It was feasting on dead fish. Here you're not allowed to return Carp to the river, huge no, no and big fine as well.
Weather is bloody awful over here, but managed an hour yesterday. This is a massive crop from the original shot, the D800 gives you that option.
This is a coal tit, very small bird.

One i`ve been after for ages, these got quite rare at one stage as people converted barns to houses. Anyway, the guy who owns the estate let me put some nest boxes up in some barns on his land, they reared 3 young last year and are back this year.
