Ringed Greenfinch

Ringed Greenfinch
After almost a 5 month absence it was good to see  the Greenfinches return today. This ringed Greenfinch visited with one of this year's fledglings and seemed very partial to our sunflower hearts feeder.

Oddly, even the Goldfinches prefer Sunflower Hearts to their other favourite staple food - Nyjer seed. The moral of the story is to buy yourself a big bag of Sunflower Hearts and stay clear of the Nyjer. You'll keep your lawn free of Nyjer seedlings at the same time!
