... and the wave brought this one too (Carduelis carduelis)

... a juvenile Goldfinch. Not sure that I've seen one in the garden before.

There was obviously a passage of a mixed flock of finches and thrushes moving round they only stayed for a few days, so if I'd been away I'd have missed them.

I wonder why they don't stay through the winter though?

TTTW

Had a great day yesterday, met up with Andy and Phil Johnston at the feeding station. Got loads of lovely pics (including one of my bogey species :t:) with advice from Andy, who set my camera back to Aperture Priority. Remains to be seen if I remember to change the aperture, got lazy on that one with Sports Mode LOL.

Thanks Andy - a great few hours we had, didn't we. Sorry you didn't get the blooming boomer though!!

Lovely bird & shot tttw, Delia!! tfs. Aperture Priority is my preferred setting too normally. Fuji produces lovely images with max aperture setting of f/5.6 at telescopic end even for moving objects.

You may not have any rabbit in your folders but I think you have many in your hat!!! LOL!!!

Great capture of this youngster, Delia; glad you had a good day out (Don't listen to anyone about different camera settings (including me) use what gets you consistent results that you're happy with ;) )

Always nice to see these little beauties Delia. A great colourful and well presented capture of this Juvenile, well done. On my local moss I come across dozens of them flying around during the winter months. Seeing that they prefer waste ground maybe there`s enough thistle heads and teasels to see them through the winter.
