Hawfinches by Kath Everitt

 

A super shot by Kath Everitt of two argumentative Hawfinches is our winner this week. 

Taken in Bulgaria, and presumably at a feeding station, this pin-sharp image shows the white wing flashes perfectly in lovely light, while an out-of-focus background takes nothing away from the main subjects.

Congratulations to Kath who used a 200-600 mm zoom at a 277 mm setting, and shot at 1/2000. th second, f7.1 on ISO 640.
