Well it's got the tail of a Chaffinch, so I agree with Adam and Gill

Agree it could be a Chaffinch and probably is but not sure I could rule out an overexposed (or slightly leucistic) Brambling on this image. Tail seems rather short and deeply forked, bill seems a bit orangey/pink all better for Brambling than Chaffinch. Pic one seems to show a dark loral stripe and contrasty facial pattern despite being very 'washed out'. |

Thanks for your thoughts guys. She really was that light, which made me think possibly something else. But does look like prob a light chaffinch, not enough in pics to go on. Next time must not forget my binoculars | | |
