Goldfinch
 

Up until the past couple of weeks, the only finches to have visited the setup this year have been Chaffinches. But just recently we have seen the return of both Goldfinches and Greenfinches. The Goldfinches were the first to return, first just two birds, and now four birds coming down regularly to feed on the niger seed and black sunflower seeds. They quite often fly straight into the niger seed feeder, missing out my perches altogether. But the other day I was fortunate to get the perfect combination - birds that sat on one of my perches, in beautiful light.
 

They really are very attractive little birds.
