wesleyvd Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone, I'm hoping to find out what bird I took a photo of during my trip to Ireland. Any help is welcome! Saw it in the summer on the Dingle peninsula, just after it caught a dragonfly. Edited September 29, 2019 by wesleyvd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 This is a Common Chaffinch, possibly an immature male. Males are distinctive, with a bluish cowl, pink face and breast, and black-and-white wing pattern. Females are drabber but note the wing pattern. When in flight, you probably noticed its flashy outer tail feathers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesleyvd Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Thank you! I was thinking some sort of finch but the juvenile colors really threw me off. Did some googling and you are definitely correct ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
