    The finches never leave our area...which is great , they do loose their beautiful yellow and turn lighter in our winter months.

    Your finches are lovely featherballs. :D I like their faces, they seem so friendly.

    Your goldfinches look very similar to our female chaffinches Sherry. I must admit I have a soft spot for finches and love to see them in the garden. Great job getting a piccie of the redpole!! :stew2:

    You're an artist with the camera, Sherry. Those are sweet little birds.

    Those are some very nice shots of those finches. They really are quite cute. Please send some fotos if they are still aroud when they change colour.
    Thanks, Sherry.
