In my garden 4 by pamknowler

In my garden 4

I have been watching some very strange activity in my garden in the last couple of days. A pair of goldfinches have been going into a clump of forget-me-nots and picking a stalk with flowers. They then fly off to their nest with the flowers in their beaks. Finally I managed to capture one yesterday and here he is with the flowers. They must have the prettiest nest - dog fur and pretty blue flowers!! I haven't seen birds picking flowers like this before.

There seems to be quite a lot of activity in the garden at the moment with birds taking the dogs fur or going back and forth to the feeder all day long. I am hoping and praying that any babies do not fledge into our garden as Finlay will be waiting for them!!
A touching moment

This is such a lovely well timed shot. I think their nest would win some type of design award

Delightful shot. I love that wisp of greenery in his beak. Flowers and fur - he is a romantic nest builder!

So delightful - their nest will be beautiful at a fraction of the cost of Boris' designer wallpaper !!!

Such a lovely bird! Your goldfinches are certainly much different than ours in colors and patterns, neat to see!

Beautiful capture. I wonder if they might be taking it back to the nest so the chicks can have the nectar from them?

Lovely. I’m sure the limb is easily bent in place in the nest. This is so sweet.
