Red Brow Finch-up close

These tiny beautiful bird feed on grass seeds,they are only around 3 inches long,and difficult to photograph.A small party of them were outside the observatory yesterday and some hoped up on to a fence post,I managed a few quick photos with my 50D and 400 L lens,distance was 4.2 metres,both images cropped.

Hope these may be of interest,cheers Chris
