So many and so brightly coloured! Certainly different from what I think of as a goldfinch around here! This is a shot of my kind of goldfinch. http://365project.org/gardencat/365/2013-06-10
@virtualbrownie Oh dear, well I had better not tell you I have 3 of these feeders which were all full, plus some on the Niger seed feeders and some in the bushes waiting their turns. Maybe 20 birds but it is hard to count them accurately as they keep flitting around.
@gamelee Thanks Lee, it took a few years of regularly feeding the common birds, Sparrows, Starlings, Blackbirds etc, before the first Goldfinch turned up, but the numbers just seem to keep growing each year now.
That's the second new term I've learned tonight - a "charm" of goldfinch - yours are so pretty!! You really did a great job of showing their wonderful markings.
