Last time, I had little success in photographing the Carduelis flammea, so I decided to try again.
Today I found a small group of about 30 of them. Mixing with their group were some Carduelis spinus.
I waited very quietly for an hour until they came nearer. They were concentrating on feeding and seemed to have let their guard down somewhat.
Finally I succeeded in photographing them at close range.
The Carduelis flammea is similar in size to the sparrow and has a cute song that sounds something like “chu-een.”
