Greenfinch in my hands, book with notes in the background.
Me opening the wing of the greenfinch, showing it’s a female: the yellow on the outer webs of the primaries doesn’t reach the black shaft.
Greenfinch inside a film roll cup on top of a scale, showing 32.3 grams.
The tail of the greenfinch, showing minimal yellow (female), being very pointy and worn out (2nd calendar year)

@stragu back before most photography was digital, you had to put blank film rolls into your camera which you had to send in to companies developing the film roll into actual photos. These rolls came in these tiny cute plastic cups which were very useful to store small stuff once the photos were developed. I still have some ancient ones around to store seeds for example 😁 @birdsarah
