I assume that, like ours, those goldfinches turn bright yellow in the summer

Ours are different, that is their year round colour and both sexes are similar. The female has slightly less red than the male.

Your shots came out real well. What camera were you using?

Good old SX40 on Auto setting.

I like the restriction to birds alight, and one specific hour.

If we were allowed flying over there would have been a load more but this is specifically for garden birds. Two types of geese (they never land in the garden), various gull varieties (they do occasionally swoop down to pick up food but rarely land), starlings (common visitor), rooks, pheasant (occasionally visit) and others were seen during the hour but not on their legs on our property.
