Title: A Small Victory
Post by: Colwyn on September 04, 2009, 10:38:07 AM

There are a couple of families of goldfinches that patrol our back gardens. In the past they have mostly been congregating in my neighbour's garden two doors down. As playful rivalry I have been attempting to seduce them away from him and into my garden. As you can see I have had some success on this glorious autumn morning.
