Sitting in the front yard trying to get the finches to come out. They are very shy. Finally did get a couple good views of the male goldfinch and made him so much more dapper than he actually is. The second one is more accurate. 😅

A pair of #goldfinches (I have never yet seen one of these birds on its own) on the grass at the town end of Bawsey Drain, King's Lynn.

Signs of Spring – Golden Goldfinches — #birds #goldfinches

There isn’t much going on in the weather this week, but there are sure signs of Spring— Goldfinches ... https://theweatherguy.net/blog/?p=26675

Goldfinch Breakfast

These goldfinches spend a lot of time in my backyard, though I suspect they’ll begin their northern migration soon. They won’t leave all at once, but I expect they’ll start thinning out over the next couple of weeks, with a few stragglers lingering until May.

This is kind of why I have sown the #Teasel: #Goldfinches. Was trimming the pollard willows and then I heard a less familiar sound. Yay, they are here! Funny how you miss many birds because they are not the usual suspects near the house (and I apparently do not get out enough...)
The goldfinches are shy enough to not get close to them. Also hard because the only way to get close is across the open field, sticking out like a sore thumb.
