A community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general!
Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
Just to go over the rules again...
But do you Goldfinches listen? No you don't!
Best post on this community by far
Are these the birds in the picture? I think I see the yellow on the wings, but not the red face. Striking little guys!
Yes indeed they were, but the nearest I had to an "ID" shot from that group was:
But that really lacks interest!
I know it's not an ideal picture, but I still liked looking at it :)
They must be something to see on a sunny day.
Oh they are indeed. Previous years I've seen them tucking into large thistle heads (so about head height) in sunshine which is an utter delight - alas, this years weather or something has denied me of that pleasure. The following is from 2022:
Very nice. Looking forward to attract those chatty fraggles to my balcony again when i am back home :)
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing :)
I love goldfinch, they're making a good comeback in the UK.
