European Goldfinch

(Carduelis carduelis)

European Goldfinches are seen in a snowy garden at Burley Wharfedale, West Yorkshire, England.   This past winter was not particularly harsh in Britain, save for a few snowstorms late in the season, as evidenced in the photo above, by Rebecca Cole.   This bird loves niger seeds and has the perfect bill for the job.
