I Got My Finch Today – Chestnut-breasted Mannikin

Yey!! At last, I got what I’ve been hunting for!

For weeks I’ve been after a nice shot of these finches , the Chestnut-breasted Mannikin.

Today, I went out and got a lot more than I bargained for!…

Starting with the duck family in the pond, swallows getting mud from a mud puddle for their nest, a couple of peewees also at the mud puddle, shots of other finches in the grass, and finally….

I spotted these Chestnut-breasted finches in the grass near the mud puddle.

Total of 243 photos this morning. I’ll share the rest later.


Taken: Ipswich, Qld
