New ones still coming (Chloris chloris)

Got rather excited this day, as a new species arrived to enjoy the offerings at our feeding station. An Immature European Greenfinch!

I just wasn't expecting this, as they've been so rarely sighted in the area. But great to know that at least one pair has produced young somewhere locally

Magnificent frontal close-up of this youngster. Great head turn and eye contact with great lighting, focus, colors, and detail. I hope they will start populating your area. TFS D!
