In the fountain bird bath in my backyard. I hadn't seen these birds until recently, so they seem to have found my backyard and now I'm seeing them a lot.
Interestingly I found out when I identified them that although they are called a finch, and so are lots of our native birds, we don't actually have any true native finches. Hows that for strange? Thank you for such awesome comments on my photos.
@graemestevens yeah my girl is quite a giant beside these tiny birds - nice lot of moss and lichen growing on her too, I'm sure you could dream up something with her :)
They are such a beautiful bird - and quite nomadic! You'll have them for awhile and then they'll disappear! And a coincidence today - I saw one alongside a few other sweet little birds today :)
