Saw this Goldfinch from my window, he was busy eating the seeds from the cornflowers, I watched him for ages.

i agree very good photos and we are very lucky to be able to see them in our gardens, I always get excited when I see them, they are so bright and cheerful.

Brilliant....you managed to get great close ups Holly.
We have had a pair of Goldfinches in our garden from time two time over last two years.They are obviously nesting in a garden along the road but we are the only ones to hang to Niger seed...they love it! strangely, I 've never seen them on my Teasels which I've grown on purpose for years nor on my Perennial cornflowers!!!!

Brilliant photography, Holly. We sometimes get flocks of these here, but we haven't seen any yet this year. Maybe we should get out more!
