I don't know a lot about birds and wondered if anyone can help me to identify this one which came for a visit this morning. |

A young goldfinch Jen ... will soon get a red head. If you've got one, you'll probably get a load more. Good pics as well ! |

Long time lurker on this thread, but first post here. I am assuming that most will have seen the kingfisher photos taken at Attenborough Nature Reserve in Nottingham over the weekend? Absolutely amazing shots and just on my doorstep. bbc.co.uk |

Always good to have a lurker become a threader Weath! I don't post much simply because I haven't seen much of note lately! First Meadow Pipits of autumn drifting towards the coast (South Wales) overhead in early mornings now. Cettis again this morning and a singing Chiff. |

Yes, JenLov, 2019 registration goldfinch. We have been getting loads of them on our feeders in the last couple of weeks. I think it must have been a good breeding season. I was watching a Cetti's warbler hopping around in the reeds this morning, which is a very unusual sight. They're reasonably common birds round here, I hear the piercingly loud song quite often, but I hardly ever see them as they skulk deep in undergrowth. |

No goldfinches in my garden, but really big flocks on thistle in local farmers fields. They seem to have done really well this year. The goldfinches and the thistles. I still have a few siskins on the niger feeders; maybe they are just lazy. |
