Goldfinch on thistle (Carduelis carduelis)

Goldfinch on thistle - sometimes we zoom in too much (IMHO) and miss the true picture.
Habitat
Anywhere there are scattered bushes and trees, rough ground with thistles and other seeding plants. Likes orchards, parks, gardens, heathland and commons. Less common in upland areas and most numerous in southern England.
