Goldfinch

Lots of Goldfinches have been visiting a tree in our next door neighbours garden and I can just about photograph them from one of our back bedroom windows. They do not usually visit this tree to my knowledge, but I suppose this extreme cold weather has meant that they have to feed on whatever they can find, not what they would prefer. as you can see from the pics the tree has some kind of catkin type seed head from which they are extracting the little seeds
