"Fringilla: A Symphony of Feathers and Colors" In the enchanting landscapes of Lower Silesia, Poland, Bramblings find solace in a field untouched by the hands of man. Despite high water levels that prevented its cutting, these charming birds gracefully feast on sunflower seeds, creating a picturesque scene captured by Emotion'Ailes Photography Competition 2021. Meanwhile, in Glenfeshie, Scotland, a male Chaffinch defies the wintry snow as it soars through the air. Its vibrant plumage stands out against the white backdrop, showcasing nature's resilience even in harsh conditions. Traveling to Andalusia, Spain in October reveals another stunning sight - a male Brambling perched delicately on a lichen-covered branch. The intricate patterns of both bird and branch blend harmoniously together to create an artistic masterpiece. Closer to home in Scotland's UK gardens during July, an adult male Chaffinch finds refreshment at a tranquil garden pond. Its elegant form is mirrored upon still waters as it indulges in much-needed hydration. Venturing into Buckinghamshire, England unveils yet another captivating image - a male Chaffinch majestically perched upon a mossy branch. Nature's tapestry weaves around this magnificent creature as it surveys its surroundings with grace and poise. Beyond Fringilla lies an array of rare and curious birds from distant lands showcased through William Hayes' illustrations. From Africa's native Common grenadier to Brazil's Brazilian finch and beyond; each hand-colored copperplate engraving captures their unique beauty for eternity. Amongst them are glimpses into history where extinction casts its shadow. The Yellow finch whispers tales from centuries past while Red-cheeked cordonbleu dances alongside Blue-bellied finches within London's Osterly Park Menagery collection. Lastly but not leastly comes America’s golden treasure - the American goldfinch.
