Goldfinch

 I usually hear the Goldfinch before I see it. Usually in small flocks darting overhead, or sat on telephone wires. You can 't beat it when they come to feed in your garden though. This lovely specimen below was taken at Burton Mere RSPB reserve, where they make sure the feeders are full for all types of species. A nice sunny day helped to bring the shine out on the red face.

    I must try and get some Goldfinch shots like yours Adam. Lots come to the garden but if I try and get pictures elsewhere Goldfinches are always too wary.
