| I am so delighted to see a goldfinch at my feeder! I haven't seen any for more than a year. Welcome, handsome Mr. Goldfinch! (Am I presuming too much that because the bird is such a bright yellow that it is a male?) Wishing a lovely weekend to readers and fellow bloggers! |

Not being an expert on finches, but I think you are right in assuming that this one is Mr. Goldfinch indeed.
The ones we see most here are (in German) called Greenfinches, and sometimes I see the very colourful thistlefinches.
Aren't those goldfinches a delight to see? There's nothing quite as cheerful as their bright yellow. And I think you're right--it's the males that are bright yellow during the warm months.
English names of Birds are so confusing. Our Goldfinches area completely different species. We don't have yours - they look beautiful.
Scriptor's comment applies to New Zealand as well.
