Goldfinch on log
Known locally as a Goul French, more commonly as a Thistle Finch. Its scientific name is Carduelis carduelis. The Latin word for thistles is Carduus. The collective name for Goldfinches is a charm, a word defined as the blended sound of many voices and perhaps a reflection of their tinkling, conversational twittering as they feed together. (Francesca Greenoak)
400mm, 1/320s, f/5.6 at ISO 640.
