Gold...the next few days are all about gold....

Gold...the next few days are all about gold....(no, i have not been influenced by Nigel Farage)....this is about gold in wildlife.....which really should be valued equal to our most precioius metals. First off is the Goldfinch - and this is in my garden in the UK NOT in HK.... this colourful finch has a bright red face and yellow wing patch. A sociable bird, often breeding in loose groups. I have a special feeder for their seeds, as they have very fine beaks which allows them to extract otherwise inaccessible seeds from thistles and teasels.

They tend to stay perched on the feeders, seeing off the tits....
