My first Goldfinches
On the peanut feeder which I hung on the chestnut tree there were two goldfinches and one green finch. I had seen the green finch before but never the gold, quite difficult to get up close but this is a definite first for me to see these beautiful birds. The weather here is sort of closing in getting foggy and the ground is rock hard although I did manage to prise out two leeks in the kitchen garden ground in raised beds frozen more or less solid for 6 inches. Amaryilis has opened even more will post some photos later. Will have to see can I get the bird house up in the NW bed and hang the peanut feeder there then I'll be able to get up close and personal with the birds looking from inside to out.
