European Goldfinch : In the wind ...

This is probably a juvenile European Goldfinch, trying to turn into adulthood. It is feeding off thistle seed pods and its bad table manner is strewing the cotton into the wind.

 

After going through the whole thistle pod, it is moving on to another thistle. A strand of cotton is seen strutting out from its beak.
