Goldfinch
Out bird spotting. This is a Goldfinch. We know it as a Steglits in Swedish. This bird might be migrating to the Mediterranean, but some do stay here for the Winter.
It's a little beauty Steffe, such lovely colours. So much more delicate than my old galah..I see they both look the same around the eyes though.
ReplyDeleteHe looks puffed up to stay warm!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I don't see one of these for a long time.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! I am not an expert but I think this one is called 'cardellino' here.
ReplyDeleteNice shot! We have goldfinches in the US too, a similar bird to that one.
ReplyDeleteLove the clarity, The splashes of bright colour really pop.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice bird :)
