Common Chaffinch

Date: July 2019

Location: The Gower, Wales

Camera Settings: ISO 200 – F/6.3 – 1/200.

After a relatively fruitless spring hike along the Whiteford Sands walk on the Gower Peninsula, this chaffinch waited for us on the gate back to the carpark area. Walking with my dad, he told me that it used to be a hotspot for all kinds of birdlife, particularly waders, during the early 90s when we first moved to Wales.
