Good morning! This Goldfinch decided it was time for a quick bath in the river! They are so striking with that red face and splash of yellow on the wings β€οΈπ

Weβve not had gold finches in Wembley for a couple of years now. Weβre sad.
An introduced species here in Australia, but one that hasnβt thrived or become a problem. π
Itβs good you have them there too, even if as an introduced species! Enjoy your day π
Iβve never captured a good photo of these beautiful birds, but I did manage one of the much rarer Greenfinch years ago! π
And good morning, my friend! Wishing you a most lovely weekend!πβ¨πβ¨
They do have more colours, but the yellow on your Goldfinches is to die for! So vivid, so gorgeous! Funny they have the same name really when they look so different! βΊοΈπβ€οΈ
And you're right about our goldfinches. The difference is striking! I'd have to say, tho, in my favourite wee bird category, there's a 3-way tie between the American goldfinch, black-capped chickadee, & house wren.βΊοΈππ€π€
I m on breakβ¦.
Have an awesome Sunday
Going back to hiatus π
The wind is doing its best to huff and puff things around, but today is an indoor day for me. Hot lemon-ginger drink and writing a post. I hope your day is going well, too! ππ
