European Goldfinch breeding

["John Layton" <>]

I have a second hand report from a reliable source of a European Goldfinch sitting on eggs in a backyard at the Golf Course Estate, Belconnen. Nest is in a Mexican Pine Pinus idunno. Been years since I’ve seen a goldfinches’ nest in Canberra.

 

As a billy lid in the Wagga area I remember goldfinches breeding well into January.
