Thanks for the tip T8Ter- I have a flock of approx a dozen who visit - little so and sos now pass on the nyger and only go for the sunflower heart filled feeders - same with the greenfinches. Expensive tastes eh?Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to? -
Yep, but gotta love 'em, I don't get many Goldfinch, only a couple over the winter, but now I've put up a nyjer feeder I may get some more. I did have a pair of Fieldfare in scoffing the sultanas and they were a first for my garden."We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses."-- Abraham LincolnComment

I had a rabble of goldfinches the other week, feeding on the verbena bonariensis seedheads (cheaper than buying seed, huh?)All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

We had one little goldfinch sitting at our Njger feeder for about half an hour this afternoon. He obviously felt quite safe and contented. Bless him.Comment
