What could be cuter than finches perched delicately on the edge of fine china? This is the plum-headed finch which I photographed by accident. I was at the Putta Bucca Wetlands photographing the rainbow bee-eaters and when I got home and looked at my photos I noticed that sitting quietly on a branch just next to the showy rainbow bee-eater, was this cute little finch. I had never seen one before. Cute isn’t he.
