I’ve seen a flock of thistlefinch feeding on thistles at Tidbinbilla.

 

Here’s an opinion on their usefulness:

That’s my impression also. I’ve seen them this week in Coombs and near Point Hut Crossing.

Am I right in thinking Goldfinches are becoming more common? I see them almost daily now. It is a bit of a worry. We tend to like them because they are pretty but do they compete with native finches?

Seen in a deciduous tree in Ellenbourough Street, North Lyneham, very close to Yowani golf course, last Friday 12/8 around 4 pm a charm of around 50 Goldfinches.  Nearby were 20 or so King Parrots on the golf course.
