Goldfinches
@ 2008-06-15 – 13:12:35
How fantastic, on my way down to Sainsburys today I spied four small birds perched on my neighbour's porch. when I got close enough to see them properly they turned out to be Goldfinches which until this week I have never seen in the wild. (Believe it or not I saw my first one on Wednesday evening walking past the supermarket, but it was just one on its own)
I think this is pretty encouraging as we don't see that many songbirds round here, so this makes me think they must be breeding in the area along with the Chaffinches and Yellow Wagtails I have seen in our garden this year for the first time. We also have a Song Thrush for the first time in many years so welcome back to him too.
So our garden regulars are Wood Pigeon, Green Woodpecker, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Blue Tit, Carrion Crow, Jackdaw, Jay, Magpie, Pied Wagtail, Robin, Collared Dove, Chaffinch, Yellow Wagtail and hopefully we will see the Goldfinches before too long joining them.
