Are there really any Goldfinches in Merseyside?
Since the spring I have been making efforts to attract local wild birds to my garden. So far I have been very successful attracting all local species except Goldfinches.
I have the Nijer seed they like in feeders. I have planted several Teasels in the garden. I've also read that adding some yellow colour to the feeders helps attract them, so I tried that too. But nothing.
Now I'm really skeptical that there are any Goldfinches in the area at all.
I'm interested to know what you guys think.
