European Goldfinch (nominate)(Carduelis carduelis carduelis)-0734
Since moving to our appartment at Kongsgårdmoen (Kongsberg) I have always had sunflower seeds and other food available for birds to eat in my garden. To my big frustration the birds dissappeared together with the leaves of the Birch tree. This late Autumn/early Winter has been slightly more promising - and no single day more so than Yesterday, December 08.2013. No less than 12 different species came to visit me during the short grey day.
What thrilled me absolutely most was a flock of 7-8 European Goldfinches (nominate) (Stillits / Carduelis carduelis carduelis). Here with a Green Finch.
Canon 60D, Sigma 150-500mm.
The photo is part of a European Goldfinch set.
