Aren't Finches funny the way they sit on the topmost tip of a tree and play at being king of the castle, and even there he is subject to the 'small man syndrome' of going up on his tippy toes to appear taller. Lovely shot.
Excellent goldfinch image john, I look how he is so upright. Well, I'm in the Oxford Hills and now I'm experiencing all this rain that you have been getting. In Ohio we have fronts that blow through and with them come rain. Here it just seems to be cloudy, then all of the sudden, it opens up and rains rains rains!
Thanks for visiting my blog! You're right, we do have a lot of the same critters here/there. I was excited to get my 1st goldfinch photo a few weeks ago. :o)

I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

How clever of you to look at it in this way.
The Yellow and Blue compliment each other nicely John.
Beautifully composed image John. The catchlight in the eyes is the only missing point. Those contrasting colors are stunning...Thomas
Now, if you could just get a finch to sit next to a blooming lupine...
So pretty seeing it against that blue sky. Definitely compliment each other.
He's glorious.
