  3. Oh, my goodness, this is a pretty little bird, and it posed so nicely for you!! Quite different from our little American Goldfinches (Spinus tristis). I just love the face mask!! Gorgeous capture.

  6. Hi Roy

    The detail on your shot of the Goldfinch is outstanding. I am always amazing at the colours of some of the birds you post and this one is really spectacular. The photo of the sheep in your blog header is also great I love the little splotches of dye.

    All the best.

  10. I am missing these birds, I used to get a least six on my bird feeders, now I get none and I don't know why. I have niger seed out for them but it has not been touched for weeks:(

  13. Oh, wow, what an incredible bird. We have goldfinches, but they don't have the head markings like that. Beautiful capture.

  14. Incredible definition there, such detail. Lovely, thank you. These little guys are so special and we get them very rarely. I am thinking of installing a niger seed feeder to tempt them around. Hope all well with grand daughter:)

  15. That is a most beautiful photo, Roy! I think Goldfinches are stunningly exotic looking little birds, they always brighten my garden and I hope I never take their beauty for granted. It is so easy to get complacent with birds we see regularly.

  19. Thanks John.

    I can't understand that Lyn, very strange. Lurking Sparrowhawk perhaps.

    Thanks Mike.

    Thanks John.

    Thanks Laura, yes certainly one of our most colourful.

    Thanks Sweff, yes everything is pretty good.

    Thanks Jan, yes it certainly is and I am certainly guilty of that sometimes.

    Thanks Mary.

    Thanks Claire.

    Thanks Tim.

  22. They are such attractive birds - mine deserted me for a while when it turned cold but they are back again now.

  24. They are Rowan and we have had quite a few in the area most of the winter, but not in such large flocks as they use to be.


    Thanks Christian.

  25. Fantastic shot Roy, a crisp sharp image, with an unintrusive background. I find small birds a real challenge as they are so hyperactive!
