Tinkling Goldfinch
I’m surrounded by Teasel. It’s the ideal perch for Goldfinches and I’m ready to take their photograph any time they decide to feed on the seeds there.
Despite my idea, they simply aren’t sharing the thought. One on top of the Hawthorn will have to be good enough.
Their song is always a golden reward.
