Odds & Sods 2022

Worra Lorra Goldies ...

Not sure what these are but there are loads of them ... and a stowaway! Seems to have got on the wrong bus ....

ID would be nice please

Great capture and lovely to see the "charm" of Goldfinches; the lower photo may be Linnets and one stray Goldie. !! but wait for other opinions.

Thanks Hazel. There are quite a lot aren't there! They all seemed to settle by the side of a reservoir, in the grass and between the stone blocks where the water would be if there was enough in, then every now and then they would all take off and do a little circuit before disappearing back into the grass and stones again. I think the Goldie has joined the wrong club, but is doing well ... not too far off being the leader :-)

ok,  it still sounds like what Linnets would do so let's see !      Incidentally, the collective noun for linnets is a "parcel" of linnets  !!

My first thought too Linnets

What a vcracking capture, well caught

Thanks for the identifications everyone. Much appreciated ...

Cracking shots BD...must have been a thrill to see and get decent pics ;-)
