We have many young Goldfinch (Eurasian) that visit our garden, but there is one that is so tame that it will stay long after the others are spooked and fly off. It was happy for me to get within a metre which allowed me to use my 70-200 f2,8 for the first time since a wedding I did a year ago. I haven't named this little one yet, so feel free to suggest a name for my friendly bird.#nature #birds #Wildlife #photography #NaturePhotography #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfMastodon #UK #BirdScrolling

    @JimsPhotos may be ill? Trichomoniasis?

    @ludwichowski possibly, but I have wagtails (young), how are just as carefree. This goldfinch flies off to it roost and back with no issue, it eats with no issue. I hope it is well, but you never know.

    @JimsPhotos cute little fluffy borb.Goldfinch are brilliant, we have 10 or 12 living around the house, they sit on the phone lines outside and chatter in the mornings. It’s always great to listen to!
