Wild Bird Wednesday - Chaffinch in NZ


Birding with only an older iPhone is not ideal
but even so, I was happy to nab this cute little chap.

The Chaffinch is an introduced bird in New Zealand 
but, unlike the house sparrow, is such a nice songster 


A few other birds from my trip may follow.

    Ein netter kleiner Vogel !
    Im ersten Moment dachte ich, die weiße Fläche wäre Schnee, aber mit 40C kann das ja nicht sein :)
