Nice colors in this shot Ray. Sure looks different than our Goldfinches here in the US. Well done!

Nice detail in the finch. Superb lighting and background. I did a double take on the ID until I saw where it was taken; quite different from the ones on this side of the pond. Well done.

Your Goldfinches are really cool looking, alan, and I really like this capture. Teasel makes a perfect perch for this species.

Wonderful setting ! This bird had in Dutch the name "Thisle Finch", however at some point it was named differently. So, in a way, a very explanatory image as well ! Great work, cheers, Hans

Great setting and light. As mentioned they are much different than our North American Goldfinches.
Lovely capture.
