Goldfinch
by fatspider
I'm still trying my hand at birds in flight. snapped this goldie down at Fairburn Ings RSPB reserve yesterday. the out of focus wall in the background is something they recently built to encourage Sandpipers to nest here.

That's very good Alan. It looks as if it was hovering while you took the shot.

That’s the type of shot that’s on my wish list, but I don’t think it will ever happen.
Very well taken.

Really good. Having had a go recently I appreciate the fact that you even get it in shot, let alone focus.
