So many goldfinches

[hairdye]

I came home from work today and asked the wife if we have had many birds on the feeders, not a lot today she said. 15 mins later there was loads ,too many to count, golfinches ,greenfinches and sparrows. They seemed to be starving for some reason, there was countless golfinches feeding on the floor on all the spilt sunflower from the birds on the feeders.
I have never seen anything like this before it was as if they hadnt had a thing to eat all day . Very weird but good to see so may birds at once in my small garden.
