Having only recently put out Sunflower Hearts and Nyjer Seeds on the feeding station, this is the first time in months that I've seen Goldfinches in the garden. I think they are the prettiest of the Finches.
Today there's been three of them vying for the sunflower hearts with a Greenfinch and the Tits (also with the Squirrel - feeding station will shortly be moved where Ethan can't jump from the fence onto it)
The European Goldfinch, is a small passerine bird in the finch family that is native to Europe, North Africa and western Asia. It has been introduced to other areas including Australia, New Zealand and Uruguay
