Another visitor which is seen occasionally is the Goldfinch. Recently it has been rare to spot two on the feeder.
This is only the second time I have seen this particular bird. I guess it may be a female Blackbird though the feathers are grey rather than brown. This one is a lot more timid than the regular Blackbirds. It certainly looks like a member of the Thrush family. Any positive identification will be welcomed.
Mrs Great Tit roosted again in the nest box last night and has made a few visits to add softer material to the nest.
Great shots of the Goldfinches John.
ReplyDeleteCertainly looks like a Blackbird to me.
Thank you Keith.
DeleteA superb set of images John.
ReplyDeleteThank you Roy.
DeleteBeautiful photos John! It sounds good news about the Stock Doves.
ReplyDeleteI think it must be a Blackbird although I did wonder about an aberrant Fieldfare! It's a lovely photo though.
Thank you Jan.
ReplyDeleteIt does look sort of half and half - very confusing to identify, for me anyway.
