two then three Goldfinch. I have tried for weeks to get a shot of a Goldfinch! All the birds were taken through the kitchen window and cropped. No chance of getting these pretty birds outside if I even blinked they were off.
So I stood in the kitchen as still as a statue at the ready with camera poised for what seemed like forever. You can see in the first shot it has been ringed. No chance of seeing the number.
The hedgehog is one of five we feed on a night, he was rooting before going to the food station.

That is, of course, a European Goldfinch. We don't have those in North America so it's a joy to see these photos. Well done.

Sylvia, an awesome set and DDLs really are required to see all the sharp details. I do wish the Hedgehog was a little brighter.

I really enjoyed this set Sylvia. They are beautiful birds. If this is the product of through a window I'd love to see what you'd get if they let you get close. These are great!

The yellow eyes on the "Blackbird" might indicate it is a grackle
