Herbs garden birds, Goldfinch

The star of this weeks catch the very rare to us 'Goldfinch'. Like the 'Bullfinch' this has only become a regular visitor this Winter and Spring. Normally their habitat is near thistles, a plant that their beak has been especially adapted to get at the sun-flower seed for. Maybe our seeds are just too much for it to resist.
Scientific name: Carduelis carduelis
