ABC Wednesday......
Z is for ZEBRA FINCH
This ZEBRA FINCH is one of many that live in a big butterfly house we visited a few years ago in The Cotswolds.
I didn't have a digital camera then, and I can't find all the other prints!! Aaagh! I had lots. I've scanned this one in and, I have to admit, brightened it a bit and cropped it. Hey ho.
This fella is a young'un, I think, and very cute. You'll just have to take my word for it that he had lots of cute pals, all flitting about between exotic trees and flowers, and drinking from little waterfalls.

Very apt as its Darwin's bicentenary of his birth this year.
What a sweet bird... Great photo too!
Had to laugh about your "40" -- twenty three plus seventeen years experience...
Beautiful picture of the finch! I love watching birds as they flit about in their pursuit of building nests and feeding their families!
Really cute !

He's great, doesn't look a bit cropped or brightened!
Great stuff Helena!
I learned a new finch name today. Great shot and the scan worked well.
That's a really nice photo of the Zebra Finch, they are lovely birds.
This is a beautiful photo of the little bird - you can just see the stripes on its tail.
Had a chance to browse your previous post about the card you made your friend. I hope she truly appreciated all the effort you went to making it. It's absolutely amazing and I'd be honoured if a friend did the same for me. :D
He's really cute.
It's beautiful :-)
BEAUTIFUL picture!!
Have a GREAT weekend!

Hello Helena, I came upon your site after Sandy at I Beati mentioned your post. It's full of wonder and life! Live in the city, and try to savor and appreciate nature's creatures that much more. Thank you! Petra :))
I've never seen a zebra finch, and I've always wanted to. This is great!
Isn't it infuriating when you know you have photos and just can't find them?
Sorry. I missed you on Wednesday. Apt and colourful - good choice.
that's what computers are for! great bird, quite magnificent actually.
Perfect "Z" post.
