I have only seen a goldfinch recently. I noticed it because I heard a birdsong that I didn’t recognise. I looked up into the tree and there it was, but only for a few seconds. It wasn’t quite on my side of the fence so it didn’t technically visit the garden. I saw one again later on in the trees behind the housing estate, which is where it was when I photographed it from the house. That’s why the picture isn’t too good – it was quite far away!
