I wish I could get a decent shot of the many goldfinches we have in the garden now, this is the best so far. They move so so fast and tomorrow I must clean the window outside - sure that would help!

They started visiting a few months ago and now we have loads of them, and I think they are so pretty with their splashes of red and yellow - apprently they were a caged bird originally and a few escaped. Bred very well in the wild!
fabulous - love this little guy - can even see the texture of the red feathers - beautiful focus and colours of the background were made for him.

Oh that's a lovely pic - I didn't realise they are escapees. Big garden birdwatch this weekend so you've got proof of one at least!

This is a clear and sharp capture of this little sweet bird. I live the matching soft colors of the background.

I think so - it was on the BBC website - I'd like to do it but would mostly be reporting cats in mine!

Oh I love goldfinches - they are so pretty indeed - good effort considering they're fidgety little minxes!

If you google big garden birdwatch and follow the links you can put in what visited your garden yesterday. If you can remember that far back??? heheh Great shot of this goldfinch, they love niger seeds but they are on the pricey side.

Hes a little beauty. They so make a wonderful sound when they sing. This is a great capture.

Wonderful, I like the dreamy look to this. Goldfinches are completely yellow where I live - more of nature's astounding diversity.

Awesome capture. Great focus on the bird and I love the DOF.
