Your song to me is like a balm,
My racing mind begins to calm.
You flit and jig so I can see,
Your perch high up there in my tree.

Wow. This is a very nice photograph and lovely. And the poem description adds more color to it.
Thank you, again ?

We often get goldfinch in the garden Eric, amongst many other birds and beasties, so I’ll often just wander out and take a few snaps.
