Could I ask, if this year there seem to be a large quantity of Goldfinches about. I have them around the garden and in adjacent fields and woodland. I have lived in Lincolnshire 10yrs but have never seen as many as this year. 5.0pm this evening had a pair of Turtle Doves inthe garden for some time. |

In the past few years, increasing numbers of Goldfinches have been attracted to garden feeding sites, particularly by niger seed. I have ringed over 100 already this year and over 200 last year. Prior to 2002 the most I ringed in a year was 28!! |

Hi Stuart Nice to hear from you. I get up around Wragby, Sotby and Hatton around the lanes there. I have seen quite large flocks. I am getting up to a dozen in the garden at a time. |
