Re: Bird of the day!

Dad and I were in a traffic jam this morning and a little male chaffinch came out of a tree and started hovering at the rear passenger window, tapping on it with his beak and then sat on the wing mirror on my side of the car - I was transfixed!

I am wondering if he's marking out 'his patch' for the breeding season because he was sitting on the wing mirror of a parked car the other day in the same place. Actually I'm wondering if he is in fact 'my car fanatic' who lived in my garden for a while and used to like to sit on my wing mirror and my bedroom windowsill.
