Struck gold...

I saw my first goldfinch this morning. A pair of them; parent and juvenile. They were in the neighbours' garden, which says something for leaving your green patch as a bit (I'm being kind) of a jungle. Last night we harvested our first beautiful juicy green pepper and four whopping leeks, so I'm sticking with our tidy(ish) veg patch though, birds or not!
