[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
(European) Goldfinch-Carduelis carduelis balcanica
Its food is small seeds such as thistles and teasels, but insects are also taken when feeding young. It also regularly visits bird feeders in winter. They nest in the outer twigs of tall leafy trees, laying four to six eggs which hatch in 11-14 days.

In the winter they group together to form flocks of up to about 40 birds, occasionally more.

Hi Tasos,
Wonderful shot of this Goldfinch in a fine pose. Very impressive sharpness and colours on its plumage with perfect lighting and exposure. Excellent DOF isolates the subjects from the BG nicely and I like your chosen POV to portray it. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.
