Goldfinch

Did well with the springwatch up here weather fine both days.

Lucky you Clarice....I was really disappointed all I saw was 1 pigeon in a tree and he never moved.

What a Beautiful Coloured little Finch :)

He was Jacque Brilliant red cap on him....

His colours stand out beautifully.

Your birdwatch seems rather like mine, Maureen. Too wet and too windy! I like your little goldfinch - haven't seen one here for ages.

Yes totally wash out here Gee,

Beautiful, you're so lucky to see the finches. Down here, in my garden in the south of Essex I never see any finches of any variety despite putting out Nyger seed feeders and all the usual feeds.

Im in Essex too Paul Hornchurch to be precise....so dont give up hope.....During the last month we have even seen Long Tailed Tits for the 1st time here

we did the spring birdwatch for an hour and recorded starlings, woodpigeons, robin, chaffinch, blackbirds, and bluetits.

Well Spring watch for us here was 48 hours solid rain......Total washout

I looked out for the birds between eight and nine o'clock in the morning. Yesterday afternoon I saw about fifty starlings gather on the tree across the road.
