European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis)

Based on the local listings, the goldfinches were back at Ringve botanical garden for less than a week in January. I was lucky enough to stumble upon them on a relatively brighter day.

..... rare for me too!!!

That's a fantastic picture you've taken of this Goldfinch Majsujan, such pretty birds, aren't they.

Ringve... well Ann took me there too, apart from a few minutes sheltering under a large tree, we virtually ran through the gardens in the pouring rain. Then sat in their lovely cafe, where I proceeded to put on a few more pounds!!! Cakes there are irresistable LOL.

Thanks for showing me this lovely bird and bringing back that memory my friend.

You're always welcome to come back 🙂
I've been going there every week since I started birding.
