Lots of small flocks of Goldfinches around the trails at the moment in addition to the birds around the feeders. They seem to have three main seed bearing favourites out on the marsh, Teasels, Burdock and Fat Hen. They are very sociable and communicative and are quite tolerant of a quiet approach before taking flight in a jingling charm, only to land a little further away and start the important job of feeding once again.
