The Young of 2022 share your photos here

The sun came out at just the right moment for this juvenile chaffinch ️ what a difference the sun makes, even if it was a bit on the chilly side today

Oh, thank you, Linda. When I looked in the RSPB book, I did wonder if it was a Brambling, then settled on a Juvenile Chaffinch. Thank you for letting me know .

Can't imagine many juveniles about now if any Kevin however the Brambling that visited me was amongst a chaffinch flock...hope it returns this winter again ;-)
Cracking photo well done you ;-)

Lovely photo Kevin, with a nice blue sky ... . I too have the RSPB book and compared Brambling and Chaffinch - they are very similar.

Thank you, BD, it was such a lovely day in the sunshine. They are very similar, indeed, and such beautiful birds. I probably didn't trust myself that I'd actually seen (and taken a photo of) a Brambling.

There are still a few young about yet. This Cygnet was taken  on the canal bank a day or two since.

Beautiful image and perfectly timed!

Cracking shot BD ;-)

Thank you both for your comments. I had a drop on my nose too. It's beginning to get a bit chilly ...
