🦉 The European goldfinch or simply the goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis)

📚 Carduelis carduus (Latin) thistle

A very beautiful multi-colored bird that I don't see often. In spring, even at its very beginning, when the snow is just beginning to melt, you can see small flocks of these birds, but for the most part these flocks are no longer there, they break up into pairs.
At this time, they are already in full mating season, and the birds chirp pleasantly sitting high in the trees. They are busy with their own business, so you can say they do not pay attention when I try to lure them to the sound.

Approximately at the end of July, in family flocks, with already grown fledglings, they raid already ripened thistles. Sitting on it, they feast on its seeds. And this is the best time to admire these birds.
