Fledgling Goldfinch

Oh the joys of garden birdwatching. We've had a couple of Goldfinches coming to our front seed feeder (full of sunflower hearts) for a while. But today they brought 2 youngsters with them. The fledglings were stunning in their own right having the yellwo wing pairs of the adults but lacking the dusky feathering and facial features of an adult. Which is strange really, the juvenille being a typical LBJ but with a nice flash of yellow which kind of spoils the camouflage.

The adults filled themselves up with seeds while the fledglings sat in the tree quivering their feathers in a "feed me" kind of way then the adults landed next to them and regurgatated the seeds into the hungry mouths.

Without a doubt one of the best garden birding pleasures I've had, a delight (and I'm supposed to be working). If England win tonight this will have been a good day!! :)
