birds of Siberia and not only - goldfinch

European goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis)
I was wondering what the next bird show. I think it would be a good choice goldfinch. It is a bird all year round and does not abandon us even in the coldest winter. He leads the young often very close to our home, and besides, it is very colorful and easy to identify. What truth does not stand out in song and you can not hear it often. In the winter, flocks of goldfinches migrate in search of seeds primarily weeds and burdock is their favorite.

The Goldfinch and the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker

    Yesterday we were about our river. Everywhere only snow and snow.Weather was sunny and air very clear. About the road are bushes and there we perceived first Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) then Lesser Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos minor). My wife saw this small woodpecker only first time and was very pleasant. I've taken a few photos. It's difficult to take woodpecker because this species is very alive and around are dense bushes and trees.
