My Gold Finches

That's wonderful Jacque. They must have liked the seeds. I bet you were over the moon to see them. I used to see them in my old garden but none up here.

I was really Happy that they came to the Feeder so soon Hywel :) They stayed a good while filling their Little Bellys :)

They are such beautiful birds, Jacque. Ours come every day and last year we had their babies as well - all four came! You did the right thing with Niger seed - they also like teasels.

Jacque ~ well done :o)
Good photos.

Thanx Spritz iv been posted Some Tessel Seedlings From Popeymike & i planted them last thursday in Front of the Pear Tree they like so Much :)Thanx to u 2 TT im so Plez`d with the different Birds im getting come to my garden this yr its amazing :)

I've only ever seen one gold finch in the garden. I put out niger seed in hopes but am not as lucky as you yet, Jacque. The long tailed tits like it though so it's not going to waste.

Thanks for sharing this Jacque. What wonderful little birds and so well photographed.
Sorry about my missive on your photo about the Teasels. I wouldn't have bored you with it if I'd seen this blog first.
Keep them coming.

Thanx Toto im gald u told me about the Teasel how do we learn if some 1 does`nt say :) Id rather be told 100 times than not know @ all :)Iv just been outside to water & check on greenhouse & their back on Feeder now :)

They are beauties - love the markings on their wings.

Glad u like Them Berneih I think its UKs most Colourful Bird ? :)

I was going to say lucky you Jacque , but it,s not luck is it ? you work very hard at giving them what they want and like and deserve to be rewarded with their company , well done .. enjoy them :o)

AAAaaawwww Thanx Amy "Big Hug" its true i guess but its worth all the Back Ache & Time to me :) x

Very good pics Jacque, its good to see the little fellows and nice to see the different species, apparently Niger seed is the gourmet of seeds and will attract a lot of birds.
Unfortunately our birds are being frightened off by a stalking cat at the moment and we are going to try a water cat scarer, it works with the hosepipe and a movement sensor and sends a small jet of water out when it senses something as big as a cat, hope it works or I will have to resort to diving out the back door waving and shouting again, I get some funny looks though. :o)

Lovely birds - they are so colourful! Lucky you, Jacque !!

You have some lovely birds come to your garden Jacque....

I aint never seen one in the wild Jacque they are very beautiful birds , I must get them seeds and see if I can coax them to Scotland .

Great photos and blog, Jacque. I bet those little finches were waiting and watching while you did your shopping!

They are lovely Jacque and you have good shots as usual .......

Well, Jacque thats it now...they wont leave your garden now youve provided that niger feeder ! Hopefully they will breed like ours did last year. You will be able to tell the young and adults apart as they have the same markings but without the red faces.The babies develop that red a few months later ! Well done you !

OMG! Now, I'm so jealous Jacque because in the autumn I put up a niger feeder to attract goldfinches because they are one of my favourite garden birds, but I haven't seen a single one on it! :-( Do you mind me asking how much your feeder cost and where you got it from? I got a cheap one from B&Q, but I'm not sure it's very good. The better ones seemed too expensive - about £15ish, which I felt was too much.

Lucky you they are such beautiful coloured birds, we usually have teasels in the garden will have to try the niger seed.
