Artist Notes
Its twittering and wheezing song, and flash of yellow and green as it flies, make this finch a truly colourful character. Nesting in a garden conifer, or feasting on black sunflower seeds, it is a regular garden visitor, able to take advantage of food in rural and urban gardens. Although quite sociable, they may squabble among themselves or with other birds at the bird table.

Greenfinch populations declined during the late 1970s and early 1980s, but increased dramatically during the 1990s. A recent decline in numbers has been linked to an outbreak of trichomonosis, a parasite-induced disease which prevents the birds from feeding properly.

This Green Finch was photographed from my shed. Camera settings :- Focal length 133mm, Shutter speed 1/250 per sec, ISO 200, f/6.3. metering = partial. Cropped and enhanced slightly.

My name is Dave. I am a keen wildlife photographer. Although i do not seem to get as much time to do it as i would like. I am a part time postman and a very busy dad to my two year old daughter. I am very self critical of all my photographs. I am still learning all the techniques of wildlife photography. Willing to learn from other people. I welcome all your comments on my work. I have a Canon 350D DLSR and a Sigma 70 - 300mm lens. Hopefully i will upgrade to a better camera and lens one day :).
