The goldfinches are back


After months of carefully coaxing goldfinches to our garden using nyjer seed, we enjoyed frequent visitors in Spring and early Summer, always recognisable by the little red faces and shiny dinner jacket buttons on the tails. Then they all deserted us in late Summer and we wondered if we would ever see them again. But today they came back - not one pair but 2 pairs!
I like happy surprises like this.
