European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis)

Another Goldfinch shot from early February. So far It hasn't been a great year for small passerines, I haven't seen a Blackbird or Robin since November (which is ridiculous!). Hopefully things will pick up as the breeding season gets fully under way.

Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well, and good birding!
