Juvenile Goldfinch

[Chocky]

This little chap flew down onto the thistles and stared munching the seed. I got right up close to him and some peeps came along and he didn't mind then some more peeps and there were 7 of us all chatting about him just a foot away if that. One chap nearly touched him before realizing the little bird was there in front of him . Then a train came by and the little bird still kept on munching. We were all quite amazed and it was really nice.
As you can see he is in it's first or second molt and beginning go get his colours. ( could be a she)

Yes.Thank you
He was so lovely I have so many shots it was hard to decide which to upload and I thought the head shot was interesting to show how the colouration is coming through
