O...Absolutely stunning pictures as always Warren! <br /><br />Out of interest do you ever notice any of the red fleshy remains of rose hips on the Greenfinches you see? At this time of year Greenfinches really fascinate me as at my coastal ringing and vis site I get very few flying over on vis. However when I use an MP3 playback of their song to catch them for ringing they literally drop out of the sky and a good number of the birds I ring have the remains of rose hip flesh on their bills. Up here at least it would seem that rose hips are a good source of food for this autumnal migrant Greenfinches.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Seumus The Hairy Birderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245986796609261961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272641239781020595.post-49544939873679082832015-10-21T19:21:18.152+01:002015-10-21T19:21:18.152+01:00I thought that Marc,
