The Goldfinch’s call is often heard in winter as flocks feed on thistles, burdock and teasel seed heads. Bright and metallic, it sounds like a handful of tiny bells strewn across glass.
Like all finches, their neat little nests are woven masterpieces. The compact cup is made by interweaving threadlike twigs and roots with grasses, lichens and moss. Wool, hair and thistledown provide a gentle, warming lining.
Between four to six eggs are laid, usually in May. The ground colour is normally cream or very washed pale blue, decorated with spots and blotches of reddish-brown.
This is a Giclée reproduction, printed on archival grade, professional Hahnemule Photorag 300gsm paper. It is supplied without mount or frame. Framed prints can be arranged at extra cost, please contact the studio to discuss any requirements.
