Thank you, Nightjar! They are wonderful to watch, and to listen to -- finches are very vocal, and they have a lovely repertoire. They always descend here in great groups, and they can make an astonishing amount of noise. You can hears some of the songs here, and the ‘flock singing in Spring’ is what it sounds like outside my studio.

‘flock singing in Spring’
Oh, wow, that is indeed quite noisy but they do have lovely songs. Our goldfinches aren’t as brightly coloured, but they’re good singers as well. Here’s an example!
Anne, Cranky Cat Lady says
They’re so bright this time of year, and they have such attitude. I love goldfinches.
Caine says
They are wonderful, and finches are fearless.
Ice Swimmer says
I especially love the third.
Caine says
Thank you, Ice Swimmer! I was talking to that particular finch, and they were listening.
Nightjar says
Those are some adorable poses in the second, third and last pictures. They are gorgeous and look like they must be really fun to watch and photograph!
