Goodness... so soon!!!!

Spring comes early to you Beryl! How lovely to get a picture of a fledgling already. A super picture too - thanks lass.

Though if you hadn't seen the adult fee him, I wouldn't have known it was a Goldfinch!
 
Thank you all so much for your kind comments |=)|

Yes seeing dad feed him did help but I have other shots showing his gold and black feathers
