Goldfinches

I didn't know that there are such colourful birds in Poland. What is more I didn't realise that they live so close to my house. While riding our bikse this morning, my father noticed two goldfinches sitting on a tree. He told me some interesting stories concerning goldfinches from his childhood. Nowadays, unlike in the past, they are under protection in Poland. I think it's great because they are very graceful and beautiful birds.

  3. Your goldfinches are more colorful than those that we have here in America and in Ohio the state I live in. Mine are all yellow, bright in breeding season for the males and an olive greenish yellow for the females. They have black wing bars and other black spots. I will have to post some on my birds blog or on Flickr so you can see them.

  4. Mistry Dawn, A-choo... I've checked the goldfinch that you've been talking about, and it is totally different, indeed. Both kinds are equally beautiful, though.

    Pchełka... Ja też dzisiaj widziałam szczygły po raz pierwszy w życiu i było to dla mnie dużym zaskoczeniem. Polska jest ostoją wielu gatunków ptaków, o których większość ludzi nie wie:)

  5. They are beauties Joanna, and you've captured them perfectly. I get a few in my garden every day, on the sunflower seed feeders.
