Garden Birds


Pictured in our garden yesterday (Oldford, Welshpool)... Bit of an amateur in identifying still (lol)
Would you say a Juvenile or Female Chaffinch? Or neither

    Welcome and good to see you on this blog. As you are in Oldford, why not take a walk/ride down to the hide at Llyn Coed-y-Dinas. There is usually plenty of action, and helpful birders to share their knowledge and optics. I am the warden there and would be happy to spend some time with you - contact me via Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust on 555654, so I can ring you back and see if we can coordinate a visit.
