Gold Finch Enjoying Dandelion Seeds

Such a beautiful bird - striking colours.

This is 1 of Our Most Colourful i think Bernieh ? This pic was taken just 10/15mins ago "11,30am" its the 1st time iv seen 1 of the Gold Finches eat any where but the Niger Feeder i have :)

I think you may be right - it is definitely one of the most colourful birds. Keep those dandelions - especially if you get visitors like this that like to munch on the seeds.

Thats a lovely close up jacque......... i love the little goldfinches..... thye dont come in to my garden very much, but they are always flying about locally and often come to drink from the bird bath..... but dont stay long....

Thanx Holly iv 4 of these that eat from My Niger Seed Feeder about 4/5 times aday :) I will be keeping My Dandelions Berieh as iv a Wildlife Friendly Garden :)

Well done Jacque. A beautiful bird and well photographed.

dandylions are good for something after all!

Thanx Toto/Mike :)

I saw some Niger seed 'cheap' this morning! First time I have bought any. Not sure what to put it in - does it need a special feeder or can I just scatter it?

My friend rang at the weekend to ask me to identify some birds in his garden knowing I'm a bit of a bird watcher on the quiet. I said they sound like golfinches and that the like to eat dandelion seeds. He said "that's exactly what they are doing!", obviously impressed at my Bill Oddy type knowledge. I failed to mention that I only knew this from seeing your pic a couple of days before!

I've seen them eating dandelion seeds in my garden too, but they normally eat only the niger seed. Adorable birds!

Lucky i put it on then Mike & i wont tell lol ; ) Good to know uv Gold Finches Visiting your Garden 2 Knip :)

A new one 4 me. Absolulety gorgeous bird, hopefully he will not leave "droppings" in your garden hey!!!LOL

Do u mean Droppings Of Seeds Or Other Droppings Donn :) lol
