I've never seen this before... Love animals in general and taking photos as an amateur... today I came across 3 goldfinches on a fence, very tame, maybe 20 or so feet in front of me. Took a photo and then all of a sudden they all came out of hiding from the long grass below the fence.... 30 or more goldfinches right in front of my nose....
Les, Lucky you to have so many Goldfinches--what a delight! I hope you do not have any neighbouring cats--the Goldies look a bit vulnerable on the ground. I like cats, but having half a dozen of the neighbour's cats bird watching in our garden is occasionally a problem.
Kind regards, Ann
Those Goldfinches feeding on the ground are eating the bits dropped by the messy Goldfinches eating sunflower hearts in the bird feeder.
Lucky you to have so many Les, they are lovely birds. I had 3 pairs today!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Fantastic to have so many goldies, lovely pics Les.
Lot to learn
