Goldfinch
The call of the Goldfinch always take me back to my childhood. I have fond memories of gazing out of my bedroom window at the telephone lines, looking and listening to these birds. They were so different to the Sparrows and Starlings that I could identify back then. So colourful from front to back, and a song that was a lot more tuneful than either the House Sparrow or Starling.

What a pretty little face. We sometimes get Finches in our backyard at certain times of the year but I haven't seen any in a long time.

ReplyDeleteInteresting goldfinch you have captured. It's so different than the gold finches we have here in the US. So glad you shared this one.

Such a pretty bird. I have to admit, that reading your posts via Animal Tales has tweaked my interest in birds and I am going to try and find out more about birds in our local area, and teach the kids. Lovely photos, as usual. Thank you for linking up to #animaltales
