Montreathmont Forest collection


Just a batch from Montreathmont Forest where the Red Squirrels have vanished, the Jays are shy, a Chaffinch has a fungal foot and one of the Robins is bald!

Chaffinch. "Another cause of warty growths is the Fringilla papillomavirus which affects Chaffinches and Bramblings. These growths may vary in size from small nodules to larger warts that engulf the whole leg. The warts develop slowly over a long period and affected individuals may otherwise appear quite healthy. Some individuals may become lame or lose affected digits".
