Goldfinches at Sheepcote

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.

    Pretty again! Maybe this will be a good winter for them. I really need to start looking for my local finches :right:

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

    Adele, 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.

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

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

    Thanks Rania! The goldcrest is absolutely tiny and that was the only time I've ever seen one.
