I know there are goldfinches just around the corner from me but they wont come visiting my oodles of food! how frustrating aarrgghh!!!? Love these birds. I also have a lovely pair of robins that love to grab sunflower hearts from my feeders. :) :)
Yea I know you are right. Is it possible to get chaffinch that are really quite green with a yellow fleck on the side wing!? I am very new to this! Are greenfinches quite a bit bigger than chaffinch?
hi try niger seed,you will need a special feeder,as seeds are so small,and you can sprinkle some on path or lawn,goldfinches are aggresive,and will fight on a feeder,but sprinkle on path or lawn and you will attract more,i have attracted over 30 at one time on the lawn,quite a sight. regards maggie
That really is gorgeous thank you. I really am not sure if what I am seeing is as green & yellow as that. Gosh some birds are really quite similar to each other!
thank you Maggie, 30 Goldfinches? I should be so lucky!! I am using niger in very small amounts & have also just put them in a feeder. Im wondering do you live in a city or woodlands? Does it make a difference do you think?
Will try but it would be nowhere near as good quality as your one! lol! Am also just learning the camera too! Oh & binoculars! I really am a novice here! Very very keen though!
This is the birds I was saying I thought were Greenfinches? Sorry my photography skills are not the best! lol!
For what it's worth , yes , I think they are :)
