    Taken through the window, now they have found it they are here frequently.
    If only the Siskin would stop as well.

      It took the goldfinches over a year to find my feeder, Strongy. Then the first pair came, told all their mates where to find the free breakfast and now I'm filling it up every few days.

      "Every few days", :ouch1: I used to refill ours a couple of times a day!....That was until OH complained he was not working so that we could feed freeloaders from several miles radius. :snork: They're limited to one fill a day now. :cool:

        Oh how I miss these little fellows. When I lived not 5 mins up the road I had so very many different birds . Every year the Gold Finches visited my feeders ... Sadly , I only seem to see Blue Birds down ' this end' :oops:

        Took my 4 goldfinches 2 months to find my feeder. We also have 2 chaffinches and a couple of greenfinches. I love the colours and markings on the goldfinches though.
        Great pictures everyone.
