Had a few pints of Guiness down the pub, but many pissed up youngters around now, so decided to watch the game at home with a bottle of Cotes Du Rhone.
One of my regulars eats those little fish quite often and I have never seen them burnt before!

What I know as a Chaffinch is much more colourful with a rosey breast, but I just googled it and that is only the male, the female is exactly the same as in my picture.
You are correct, good spot.
