sick birds

[willing to learn]

Being a bright morning I decided to get out with the camera as my time, will be some what limited over the next few months. They day started of with a flooded road to pass. On arrival the area was flooded also.

It soon came to my attention that there was a number of Chaffinches showing classic signs of having Trichomoniasis though it seems only the females looked infected, not a good start. A few was quite pitiful
Wheezing coughing and gasping. I then noticed Cheesy growth’s on an hedge Sparrow’s beak, though it seemed bright enough it it’s self .
Then to top it all I spotted a crippled blue tit. During my time there I managed to catch two of the infected Chaffinches. It’s a tough life out there
