Great photos, Jim ..... the bird (sorry I don't know what it is) is stunning!

I loved the humour in the second pic of the boots!

Looking forward to more of your photos!

Re: My first post

Thank you for looking. I don't get many birds in my garden just sparrows and dunnets, with the regular robin and blackbird, my friend gets loads because he lives nearer the woods.

Thanks Jan, we don't get many birds here either (maybe something to do with Cassie Cat) and I've never seen a goldfinch before, it certainly is beautiful...

Re: My first post

Gorgeous photos. We get Tons & Tons of Goldfinches here. Its only a small back yard but we put Sunflower Hearts out & they line up on the fence to take turns on the three feeders or make a carpet of birds on the floor eating the seed that has dropped. They are very skittish though so as soon as you look at them through the window they are off. So I can never get a decent photo of them

I see they are feeding on Sunflower Hearts in your photo braveheart. They love them. We have to buy 25kg bags at a time

Re: My first post

Fabulous photos, just love the Gold Finch, we also have loads of them feeding, I feed Sunflower Hearts, it saves a lot of mess. I have different feeds for different birds, I have ground feeders, hanging feeders, table feeders, plus a box on a tree for the squirrels, we have learned over the years if they have there own supply they tend to leave the bird feeders alone.
