Breakfast time....

Out and about this morning with Spikes2013...we checked out some of the local wetlands. Spring is still happening -not a lot of babies around. Saw some paradise Ducklings in the distance. I was interested in this delightful chaffinch- very busy in some flax seedheads. It wasn't until I had a look on computer that I realised the bird had caught his breakfast.

Chaffinch-a small songbird species in which males are brightly coloured in spring-summer with a brick-red breast and chestnut mantle, greyish-blue crown and nape, black wings with a prominent white wing-bar and shoulder patch. Males are duller in winter while females are dull brownish-grey with similar wing markings year-round; both sexes have white outer tail-feathers that show during flight.
