Today on a very wet day in Salford, Manchester a Goldfinch sat out in the rain on a high branch on our cherry blossom tree. Literally like he was king of the world ( the street usually dominated by magpies) . He was with another one that was sat in neighboring tree.
It’s the first time I have seen them here in Salford.

I can confirm in Wales, they are more common now than at anytime I can remember.
They love the sunflower hearts and nyjer seed, we have had flocks of about 20 in a relatively small garden.

@Biffo1262

51w↑8

They appeared in my garden about 6 years ago and stayed. We have a good sized feeding station, pond and small artificial stream. They most we see at any one time is about 15 to 20. Since the pond and stream have become established we have had in addition to the Golfinch, Goldcrest, Brambling, two breeding pairs of Bullfinches, Long Tailed Tits, Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Coal Tit, Sparrowhawk who is a bit of a PITA, Dunnock, breeding Wrens, Chaffinch though less and less of them, Greenfinch, Blue Tit, Great Tit, all the usual LBJ's, Starlings (greedy beggars), Mistle Thrush, Red Kite overhead, numerous Buzzards, Magpies far too many, Grey Heron unfortunately for the fish, Jays, Willow Warbler and numerous Robins. My garden has an overgrown allotment at the back and we are situated in Salford near peat mossland but actually in an urban setting. I put the variety down to the feeding station, pond and shallow feeder stream which is very popular in hot weather. The overgrown allotment is full of impenetrable brambles which has attracted many breeding birds, notably the Bullfinch and the Goldfinch. We have a mix of conifers and well established cherry trees. Our garden has become an absolute delight but it costs a small fortune in sunflower heat, peanuts, niger, millet, mixed seed and fat balls. They eat better than we do.

@ripmurdock6975

Wow, very impressive variety of wildlife.

@franktuckwell196

Out of the group that visit my garden every day, there is one that picks and chucks 9 out of 10 peanuts, chucking all others on the floor. That was the main reason that i changed from sunflower hearts to chipped sunflower hearts, because they tend to take one beakful and drop the rest. There was about two thirds on the floor, dropped by them and wasted, or encouraging pigeons and rats. This is a small group that come all the time about ten in all.

@nor0845

One thing I will tell you, is their song changes from area to area. Where I live now (Highland) the song includes a very pronounced sliding note…complete with accompanying head action! Sadly, like many songbirds they are seldom seen now. Beautiful little birds.

I copied the little beeping noise and they replied. Within one week they started adding whistles and funny noises. They evolve if you speak to them. They test you out by making crazy noises to see if tou can copy. When they realise you are definitely speaking to them they get so excited and jump around as if they have waited for us tontake this beautiful step of love towards our beloved bird sisters and brothers. Even kites respond to me and circle around my head. They love the human who speaks to them and anyone can and should do this it makes you so happy and the birds go mad. You will see how the while area of Bird sounds will change in volume and styles. We evolve through love we devolve through hate and death and eating carcasses. Only love will set you free.

i learn much musical lesson by GoldFinch. (he make too effect for his melody) maybe you will not believe me.

I think what I love most about goldfinches is the short high pitch chirps when it's flying or foraging. First you hear them, then you look up the canopy of a tree to reveal them hopping between branches. You can even see them in central metropolitan areas, which is a fantastic change from the typical rock pigeons.

Thank you so much. I live in Tasmania and was delighted to watch this beautiful video because when I moved to my present address four years ago, there were and still are many pairs of nesting goldfinches each year. I found a beautiful woven goldfinch nest in a tree on my front grassed area which I kept after the birds had left, as an object of beauty and bird creativity. I am a bird lover and belong to Birdlife Australia which supports, educates and advocates for important bird issues in this country eg keeping mudflats for our migrating birds which fly on the great eastern flyway or by another flyway to the north pole to breed and back again.

Hi I am another Tasmanian, previously married to a Yorkshireman from Dewsbury whom I met in Sydney. I love the goldfinches in my cul de sac street off a main road. It is relatively quiet and many trees in each front grass area have a nesting pair at breeding time. They are a joy to see and hear. I adored watching a charm with their young ones alighting on dandelion stalks, bending them over and stripping the seeds to eat. This is when my back garden has overgrown a bit probably my choice to see the goldfinches.

I had never seen one until we moved to our current house. Now we get about 60 or more flying around and they just love sunflower seed. The bird table gets crowded with 25 to 30 of them sometimes. They are social, but are so funny in that they bicker with each other when feeding, and spend too much time sometimes shoving each other out of the way in order to get the seed. They twitter very loudly up in the trees in large groups, so it’s obvious when they are around. I read that a long time ago they used to be caught and caged because they are so pretty. They are by far the commonest bird by us, and Sparrows are the most rare!

I've been told they're looking for spiders. (Plenty of those !)
