Excellent image, Ian. The position of the bird on the curved perch is particularly good. Absolutely no nits from here. Our Goldfinch in the "new world" don't have the red face and may have more yellow especially when they get their breeding plumage. I think this is the first time I've seen this subspecies and want to thank you for posting it. :toast: :toast:

Lovely image Ian. It's defiantly the perch that makes the shot stand out.
