Goldfinches are by far the most colourful birds I see in my garden.
I had just topped up (what was left of) my feeders after the squirrels had emptied and done their best to destroy them while I was away over the weekend.
Sunflower Hearts are a favourite with most of my garden visitors... not least the Goldfinchs and it wasn't long before this little bird was tucking in.
They drop quite a bit while feeding... much to the delight of the pigeons and my little garden mouse.

I too love goldfinches but have only had one visit from them a few winters ago. One can hope however.
they are a colourful bird; lovely photos Drew
Sweet! He won't be going hungry, Andrew!
If you saw this bird in the rain forest it wouldnt look out of place- sometimes we take beauty for granted
nice reminder Andrew
Great shots Andrew..... very well done.
they really are amazingly colored. love that scarlet mask.
He's a real beauty!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Wow, what fantastic plumage! Much different from our goldfinches! Love the colors!
Hard to beat a Goldfinch on your feeders. A garden favourite of mine.
So different from our goldfinches. I can see why this is your favorite.
Yes, Nice of them to spread seed for the ground feeders! Pretty bird!
Very beautiful series of photos, Andrew.
Greetings.
Great photos of a very beautiful bird.
Gorgeous, I just started hanging feeders around this summer. We just bought the cheapest to see if they come. So far I have seen Cardinals,Yellow finch,Hummingbird and a woodpecker still waiting on the Blue Jay. Happy birding

Your Goldfinches are colorful. Beautiful bird and wonderful photos. Have a great day!
He'd be most welcome at my feeders! Same color palette as the Western Tanagers I see, but so differently arranged by Ma Nature.
Sem dúvida, muito lindo!!!
Beijinhos.

Great pictures you show of a very beautiful bird. Wishing you a good day :)
Good for you, dropping some for the the mouse.
Nice shots Andrew, one of my favourites too.
A gorgeous bird with amazing patchwork plumage. :)
Hi there - great pictures of a great bird.
They have been introduced here - I tend to see them on old buliding sites and such places where the thistles grow.

Nice shots! Much more colorful than our goldfinches. What country's flag again is black, white and red?
A beautiful bird, and great pictures Andrew.

I remember these so very well. There was a real big cage at my parents garden full of them.
oh, really pretty
much love...
What beautiful colourations! Terrific shots.
Lucky you!
A stunning bird indeed Andrew! And you have captured it perfectly, munching away on the seeds.
Oh he is so beautiful -- so much more colorful than the goldfinches we have (and I love them) but yours has them beat. Wow I'd love to see that bird in "person"
