It's been a miserable day… grey and wet. All I've managed are a few photos of some damp snails, so instead I've been trawling back through some recent photos and came across these from about 3 weeks ago. More goldfinches, this time in a reasonably large flock.

2 Oct 2010Mark, we could do with some decent weather, that's for sure. Yesterday was utterly hopeless. Today looks ok, but nothing special.

2 Oct 2010Adele, we've had far fewer greenfinches this year now I think of it. They used to dominate the garden, but I suspect the lousy summer hasn't helped.

2 Oct 2010Darko, that's probably the most I've seen in one place. 🙂

2 Oct 2010Rania, they are quite small, but not as small as the goldcrest which is really tiny.
