Excellent pose and detail captured Trev, super image,
Fred.
Nice one Trev.
It seems to be a common problem with Chaffinches although I thought they were all clear now, I haven't noticed it on the ones that visit here for ages.
Geoff.
Chubby indeed
Shame for him with that foot though it doesn't seem to worry him.
Super close up, Trev.
Many finches and small birds suffer from this foot problem.
Years ago when my father and I bred Canaries we experienced the problem too.
Colin
Bumble foot or club foot caused by parasites. Fine plumage detail, Trev.
Dave
grand capture here Trevor one of your best wee birdie shots for me
Graham
Makes me feel better - he's got a bigger belly than me! 
But a shame about his poorly foot 
A super detailed capture, Trev 
Trev
lovely detailed capture
we have a chaffinch that comes daily looks like it has a bandage on his/her leg seemingly its quite common with chaffinches and it can restrict their flying cababilities so ive been told ..
david
He certainly is a cheeky and chunky little chap, superbly captured
