Ratel's photos #121 Forest Birds-83

The European goldfinch or goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis). Again I met goldfinches off the coast, in a clearing. Obviously, they live here all the time. Both in summer and in winter. I like their red muzzle, and such a caramel color on the wings and below the neck, from which they look like a yummy cupcake.

And this is not surprising. After all, there grows burdock, which they are very fond of! They fly a small flock of 2-5 birds. They respond well to redpolls sound :) sounds very similar voices, yet they are cousins of one kind - "Carduelis".
Cowardly. Getting close to them is difficult.

Go away!
We don't know any goldfinches! We did not see them, look over there!

Although the redpolls are related to the genus of goldfinches, they keep to the side.
Here this male flew to a redpoll sound from the bluetooth speaker, waited until the goldfinch flew away, and flew to look closer.
