Female Chaffinch standing to attention ........

Chaffinches are at home in so many different habitats, they really are very versatile birds.

Here this female was rummaging amongst the leaf litter when I caught  her eye, immediately she adopted an upright posture and weighed up any threat that I may pose, whilst not as colourful as the cock Chaffinch she is nevertheless a beautiful and subtly plumaged little lady.
