Cold and Gold
18th January 2021
Over the last couple of weeks we have been serenaded by a huge charm of Goldfinches, perhaps 50 or more at a time. Fortunately they don't all descend on the feeders at the same time but drift down in smaller numbers as if in turn.
Despite grouping together in collective harmony they do have a very grumpy nature and appear far less tolerant when food is available. I often get very meaningful looks down the lens sensing their displeasure!
I like how they brave the elements though, come rain, snow or shine they aren't so vain about their golden plumage getting wet or cold.
