Nature watch: goldfinches

[callmemadam]

There were goldfinches in the garden this morning; I hardly ever see them. Unusually, they were finding food in the grass. On the rare occasions they’ve visited before, they’ve been after seed heads. They’re so pretty.

Yes, they are such gorgeous little birds. I think there are some nesting in my neighbour's garden - they've been waking me up at dawn with their singing (the birds, not the neighbours)...

I wonder what the neighbours would sing?

If they were going to compete with the goldfinches, it would have to be something with a lot of coloratura...

We can go months, years even, without seeing any but we have two or three visiting our feeders at the moment.

I suppose there are fluctuations in their numbers. Nice when they show up!
