For most British born Australians and others,
I am sure , this charmingly pretty introduced finch is a very welcome sight.
No human discrimination from birdwatchers please ; hardly a feral it came with
the first fleet to make Australia it's new home and performs a valuable service
consuming thistle seed.
Several years ago, in Winter, because there was a severe frost Martin
Butterfield lead a WW group along Lake Road to the southern edges of Lake
George where several flocks of goldfinches, up to a hundred were observed which
was a long remembered sighting.
