Nope, it's a male Chaffinch.

Thanks- I did a search for Irish Birds with a 'blue head' but chaffinch was not listed

In reality their heads are more of a bluey-gray colour, not as saturated a blue colour as in your photo.

It does look particularly blue in that photo but it's generally described as blue-grey.

Some nice shots there splish.
Did you get a new macro lens?

splish · 14-06-2014 12:19PM

Thanks Bonedigger. No still using the same bridge camera. I was thinking of upgrading but I'm happy with shots I've been taking lately so I'll hang onto it for another while until I can afford to upgrade.

Bonedigger · 14-06-2014 12:47PM

Why upgrade when you're getting shots like those!:)

Kestrel with a snack.

Elephant Hawk Moth, nearly got squashed under my big boot.

Had 9 over the garden here in March.

whyulittle · 15-06-2014 09:20PM

A few from the other morning while out listening for Corncrake.

There were bats still out when I arrived, LOADS of little Mayfly type things shedding their husks, a couple of Cuckoos calling, Snipe drumming, a lone Whooper Swan, a Curlew calling and an unusual looking BoP!
