The European Goldfinch is a very common Canberra bird. I report observing them regularly. They are a finch and so they prefer the same grassy habitat as native finches. I observe them frequently in the reed beds and native grasses along
the Ginninderra creek floodplain. I have seen them in the reeds etc of every artificial pond in Gungahlin. If you see a small bird at the top of a seed stalk , it is more likely to be a EG around here than something more elusive like a GH Cisticola.
