I have a shed on my allotment set up like a bird hide so thought I'd see what turned up today.

Very nice Steve, they illustrate the trick to getting good bird shots, which is get as close to the subjects as you can! A shed is a good way of doing this.

I too like the Goldfinch, they are my favourite UK birds.

I think the colour balance has a slight yellow cast on these though, maybe a WB adjustment would be beneficial?

The Goldfinch is a great image Steve. A good set and as David has suggested, maybe a slight tweak with WB. I also like the Greenfinch as a stand out image.

Best regards

I can see where you're coming from, it was very warm late afternoon light the photo was taken in.
This is how the camera caught it with AWB.
