vwkittie   10 #11 Posted April 14, 2014 Not seen a swallow yet but saw a bunch of house martins (I think) at Broomhead on Saturday.  Not seasonal but I also saw a goldfinch on Penistone road the other day, never seen one before and it was a surprise to see it at the side of the road Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
taxman   12 #12 Posted April 14, 2014 Not seasonal but I also saw a goldfinch on Penistone road the other day, never seen one before and it was a surprise to see it at the side of the road  We get them on the niger seed feeders in my garden. They quite like verges, scrub and wasteland because of the thistle seeds etc. The first goldfinches I ever saw used to frequent some birch scrub on a colliery in Salford!  Charming birds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
