It must be very cold, Stian! Thanks for the information! Glad to see you've seen it though! :)

In my area it's rare, they only breed around the Oslofjord here in Norway. But it's a common bird in the rest of Europe. Norway is too far north for the bird i think ;)

That's interesting! The American Goldfinch is one of the most common!

I like them both ;) Around here the European Goldfinch are quite rare.
