The Goldfinch

The Goldfinch is probably my favourite bird. It just seems to be so well proportioned and colourful; bold flashes of gold and red set against stark blacks and whites. 

This is the first time I have seen one visit the garden and they came as a pair and sat in the hedgerows for some time.


Amongst the yellow autumn leaves of a thorn hedge, with its brown twigs, they seem to be perfectly camouflaged.
