[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Carduelis carduelis (Tr. Saka, En. Goldfinch, Da. Stillits, Du. Putter, Fi. Tikli, Fr. Chardonneret élégant, Ge. Stieglitz, It. Cardellino, No. Stillits, Sp. Jilguero, Sw. Steglits)

Identification
Goldfinches are easily identified by their striking colours; red, black and white on the head and black and gold in the wings. Juvenile birds have a streaked brown head but the broad gold stripe through the black wings is already obvious. The wing pattern is so vivid that many birdwatchers don't realise that the Goldfinch has a white rump.

Habitat
Breeds and winters wherever there are weeds, especially thistles, on wasteground, hedgerows and areas of scrub.

Distribution
A common breeding bird throughout Britain, although less common in northern Scotland. Many British birds move south during the winter to Belgium, western France and the western Mediterranean, returning in March-April. Widespread in Turkey and can be seen throughout the year.

Merhaba Mustafa,
En az 100 kare çekmişimdir ama bu kuşların içime sinen böylesine bir pozuna henüz sahip değilim. Siz ikisini birden aynı göz teması içerisinde mükemmel yakalamışsınız. Renkler ve keskinlik süper. Eline sağlık. Hüseyin

A very sharp shot...I like the pose and composition of this shot, mustafa...Very well done!

Hi Mustafa,
Very nice capture of these two lovely coloured and clean goldfinches.
Nice pose you have captured them in.
TFS Paula

Hi Mustafa,
They are very different from ours who are bright yellow and black. This is a nice capture of this beautiful couple and you manage well with focus as it is not that easy to capture clearly two subjects at the same time. Tones of colors are agreeable with good and natural exposure. Thanks,
Claudine

Hello Mustafa,
Beautiful scene of the two bathing Goldfinches. Great colours, also in the BG. Very sharp and in a good composition. Excellent low POV.
Regards,
Peter

Hola Mustafa,
Bu yıkanan sakaları az daha kaçırıyordum dostum, son zamanlarda TN'e istediğim sıklıkta bakamıyorum. Çapraz duruşlu kompozisyon çok şık olmuş doğrusu, ellerine sağlık.
