Up in the judas, in the late afternoon wind, Mr Goldfinch waits impatiently for the rivals to finish feeding,
It is windy and cold but sunny as soon as the fog lifts round 2pm.
now the tits are fighting for seeds. The Goldies have taken over. V2 shows how they defend the feeder Smile against the great tits.

many thanks for all those votes and very interesting reflections on my last upload, Étienne de La Boétie's house of birth.

V1 is very appealing with that fluffed up plumage. He has quite a wistful expression as he waits there! Many bird toggers dislike including feeders in images but It's a lovely clean feeder and the 2 Goldfinches look to be greatly enjoying their meal.

I love goldfinches - he does look protected from the cold with his winter coat.
You're lucky to see them close to home.
