There were no responses to this posting so I am resending it in case it did not go through the first time: For the past few weeks I have enjoyed having approx 8 female and 5 male purple finches at my feeders daily. The other day, after looking through some photos I had recently downloaded into my computer, I was struck by the appearance of one male which seemed to me to have a somewhat 'messy' area around its R eye and beak which showed up much more clearly on the back-lit computer than when just looking at them live, moving around, or via the small camera window. Although the eye rims themselves do not look inflamed, the brownish tinge around them seem to me to smack suspiciously of a possible discharge from the eye - also, the beak looks a little strange, but may just be distorted by food. I have never noticed this sort of thing before and have no experience of how to judge whether it is within normal limits or not. I would very much appreciate some opinions from those more knowledgeable than I, and will send the photo to anyone interested in having a look. Eleanor Lindsay Seabright, St Margarets Bay
