A Charm of Goldfinches hardly does justice to the sight of well over a hundred goldfinches rising from my local field of knapweed and thistles every time the low flying RAF trainers passed over this afternoon. Still find it amazing how such a brightly coloured bird can be so difficult to discern even when there are so many in such a relatively small space, only their constant twittering giving their presence away. What a charming place is Blaenpennal! Alan Lyne |
