    Thought it was time I started posting more recent images. This Goldfinch is from the beginning of December and the ISO was 5000.

    It seems that, in spring, the new growth of the trees are irresistible for the Goldfinch.

    We had a pair of Goldfinches on the feeders (occasionally 3) and it was such a joy to photograph them. They seem to have disappeared for now but I hope they come back.

    Fully recovered from last week's conferences and looking forward to our annual Easter visit to the south of Sweden beginning on Friday morning.

    There is no snow this year but the Goldfinch made me think at the beautiful Christmas decorations. Merry Christmas, Cristian

    The autumn killed the plants. The frost covered them with ice. The fog made things look ghostly. Everything looked lifeless. The Goldfinch brought life back.

    Trying to decide whether to take a gamble on the feeders. :-) Had a wonderful Easter trip. Saw lots of birds and got good pictures of some of them.

    Not that you can tell by looking at it as far as I can see. The rest of the flock flew off but this one remained. Always nice when that happens.

    Second of three Goldfinch images. This bird now appears to be the most common and successful of my garden birds. All other species appears to be diminishing but not this colourful and welcomed family.

    Snow and sunshine today - perfect. It's quiet on the feeders at the moment, just one Red Squirrel on the ground but a few minutes ago there was full-scale war between the Squirrel the Jays and the Magpies.

    A flock of goldfinches was flying along the roadside. It was a bush of Spear Thistle (Cirsium vulgare) that made the birds stop for feeding. For me it was a good opportunity to take some photos.

    The bushes of, what looked to me as Welted Thistle, were ofering a quick meal to the birds. Food was so tasteful that I was allowed to take several photos without disturbing the flock of goldfinches.
