Female Chaffinchby ~Neutron2K

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Birds

I'm pretty sure this is a female chaffinch.

Taken from the woodland hide at Blashford Lakes, Dorset, UK.

Nice. Shame it looks like it's got that Chaffinch Foot disease. I noticed a lot of the Chaffinh's at Blashford seem to be afflicted with the same condition.

god i never noticed that! what is it?

I'm not 100% sure. I know it's a condition which is becoming more prevalent amongst Chaffinches. The birds I have seen with it don't seem bothered by it so I don't know how serious it is. I have noticed that a lot of the Chaffinches at Blashford have it so I guess it must spread between the birds.
