We saw a Goldfinch in our garden this afternoon - it didn't stay long enough for me to photograph it, but hopefully it will come again and bring its friends. We hardly ever see one and I don't think I have seen one for a couple of years so it was a real delight to see.
The camellia in our garden is looking lovely.
We've had a pair of Goldfinches in the area for several weeks at least and I have managed a few photos. After the large flocks I see in NZ I find a single pair rather strange. I do see them here most summers though so I assume they are not accidental.
ReplyDeleteIt is strange, we get such a large variety of birds in our garden I am always surprised we don't see Goldfinches very often...I am not sure why this is, whether the area doesn't suit them?
DeleteJust today I saw a female Goldfinch at the birdbath. I hope the male is around too. Sadly they don't nest here in town so they'll be leaving soon..
ReplyDeleteOnly seen the one here...I always keep a look out.
