Great news

Hello all,

I made a thread a while back stating the winter passers that I had visiting my garden. Well, I'm glad to say that a pair of goldfinches seem to have either returned or it's a new pair but they make their way over to the feeders about 3:15pm everyday and I have ordered some Niger seed feeders along with some Niger seed which should keep them happy . And today for the first time ever I have a pair of greenfinches that have shown up twice today, two species that have never seemed to stay in my garden have suddenly decided to stay .

Thanks, HanD.

I have 3 Green finches that are now more regular visitors.The 2 Gold finches are about again.Soon the dandelion seeds and grass seeds will be gladly taken by them.Have seen them bobbing up and down in the grass now it is getting taller.

I have noticed the greenfinches eating seed from the garden over the weekend but was not sure what it was. Then this morning I thought it looked like the dandelion seeds, thanks for confirming artdemole.

We got up to about 8 goldfinches but they seem to have disappeared in the last 2 weeks, however we still have a dozen or so greenfinch.

Niger will attract Gold finches into gardens that have never had them before,,Siskins can also feed at niger feeders,,and I have seen Green finches on my Niger feeders as well,,,keep putting out the Niger and in time Goldys wiil be with you all the time
