I was surprised today to see some greypate goldfinches feeding at the niger seed feeder in my garden. The parents have been coming regularly for the past few weeks, but this was the first time I had seen the youngsters. Unless they had secreted themselves away in the bushes whilst observing their parents feed, they must have very quickly learnt the food potential of this plastic tube.
At one stage there were four adults present and so it seems that more than one pair has bred locally which is good news.
