Finches, blossoms and tulips

[lark_ascends]

6 more photos from Tulip Top Gardens in NSW, Australia from 3 Oct this year. I was soooo excited when I spotted the red browed finches as I adore birds and finches are normally too flighty to easily get photos of.

It's unreal how beautiful that place is. And such a wealth of finches!

I was astonished. The colours were so vibrant, and that was even with no sun for most of it. I very much want to go back next year.

There were a lot of finches...I unfortunately kept on scaring a lot of them off when I tried to get close enough to take photos.

Thanks for the comment!

*sighs* So lovely.

It's not fair. My only contact with nature is raking #%*&@^$ leaves!

Thank you!

That said, I would adore to have an autumn like parts of America and Europe. Sydney sort of gets autumn.

Gorgeous! ... Is there a finch in the first photo? I can't spot it.

[lark_ascends]

Yep, there is. The almost horizontal branch that goes across the middle of the picture, he's facing away from the camera almost in the centre of the photo next to a lot of blossoms that are in front of the branch on the left. Hope that helps!

Thank you!

What a beautiful place! And your finches are much more colourful than a lot of ours are.
