It always amazes me that one of the most beautiful birds of them all - from anywhere in the world, even the tropics - is a common sight in the backyards of dreary northern Europe.
This is one of the reasons I love wildlife photography: some of these creatures are so tiny and fast, that appreciating their colors and patterns with the naked eye is really challenging. With a big telephoto and if you get close enough though, you can pick out all the tiny details of these awesome chirping fluffy things :)
