I have never seen a goldfinch before this week. The past 4 days, I have seen a pair frequenting our yard however.
My father says that they used to be seen in the front of the house, but never inside the garden or around the back. Now, we have a pair nesting two trees/yards along.
I have managed to take several photos - but will have to wait to share them with you until I get the internet set up at home - which should be within the next 6 weeks.
They often pop onto the tree outside my room, drink from the water bowl in the back yard, or sit in their nesting tree. I have also seen them munch something in my flower patch and in front of the compost tub. They apparently eat both seedheads and insects, so it could have been either that attracted them.
