European Goldfinch
European Goldfinch / carduelis carduelis. Calke Park, Derbyshire. 02/11/18.
It was quite a surprise to realise I was under surveillance by this Goldfinch! S/he remained perched, absolutely still within the dappled light of a Hawthorn. It was only when light struck its white belly and pink legs, that its cover was blown. If viewed large you can see two beady black eyes.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
