Chaffinch

Above: Thurrock, Essex (21 January 2012)

After a rather disappointing and cold day's gulling, I cheered myself with a warm drink and burger on the way home. This perky chap kept me company, no doubt awaiting a few discarded morsels by the litter bins.

After hunting displaced Iceland and Kumlien's Gulls, it's nice to be able to appreciate the simplicities of the 'common or garden' sprite.
