Thanks burn; distance shots are sometimes as good as a close up, it gives a good view of their habitat! Nice Purple Finch with the blue skies, that always helps! Love all those rocks in your Goldfinch pic, they would cost a fortune to buy here.

Thanks Little, Goldfinches are amazing to watch when they feed on insects together, flitting up like peaks of waves then swooping down again in shallow dips in unison. I saw them meet in the air, then twirl in a downwards spiral just before I got those pics, shame I missed that!

Thanks pelle, they do have character!

Nice assortment of birds Patti, so rewarding to know you have provided a place for them.

Talking about character, all birds seem to have plenty of it. A Jackdaw landed in the flowering cherry tree, seemingly hiding. It moved slowly through the branches, dropped to the ground, looked around then disappeared into the flower bed! I had put some bread crust around the area, it went out the farthest end and picked up a piece.

I took these from my kitchen window a few days ago.
