Birdbrain
A birdbrain is described in the Oxford Dictionary as a silly or stupid person but these goldfinches must be extremely clever. Within 5 minutes of putting up a seed feeder, on a tree in one of the biggest marinas in Europe, I have 3 regularly feeding. In this pic you can see the tail of the one at the back. The other is waiting his turn on a branch above.
As someone who needs sat nav to find a box of teabags in Asda, I think birds have superior intelligence.
Tomorrow morning, sad person that I am, I'll set up my tripod and camera ready for them to arrive ;-))) I need to capture a glint in their eyes as they're just appearing as black circles on most pictures at the moment.
