Singing baby GreenFinch

As I was throwing odd shapes, early this morning, trying to get a shot of a cluster of mystery bug eggs on a leaf of the olive tree (might blip them tomorrow when I've found out what the hell they are) - I heard a little plaintive cheeping and discovered this baby greenfinch sitting in the tree watching me.

We used to get loads of finches in the garden but they have been a little elusive so far this summer. It is not as sharp a capture as I would like but he looked so sweet and plump with his little mouth wide open, I just couldn't resist him.

I am feeling quite excited about the Olympics. Wish they hadn't shown a sneak preview of the opening ceremony on the news last night. We flicked channels quickly so as not to spoil seeing the event tonight.
