That must have been probably that mince dish you had in the restaurant. I have seen these Chaffinches only twice here. Nice and clear capture of this pretty bird.

---On the mend now but still a bit weak.---

Take care Richie. Hope you'll completely recovered soon.

Wonderful and excellent 'portrait' of this male Chaffinch.

The must be Father de Bricassart, Count. I remember reading about him and seeing him in a mini series. He does resemble Richard Chamberlain with his coloring.
I wouldn't venture too far from the loo either if old Montezuma was after me.
Good shot under the circumstances.

Glad to hear that you are on the mend, R. Restaurants that afford me with a visit of Montezuma's revenge are permanently off of my list of places to revisit. I like how this little fellow is clinging on to the thorn.
