Egypt Woods, Bucks

A late afternoon walk brought a large flock of finches high in larch trees. Several chaffinches and at least one redpoll were present.

It was only possible to try a shot when some of the siskins came down to feed on these beech buds. They still managed, most of the time, to appear resolutely head-less; but I like the colours, and the shape of the tails against the sky.
