Goldfinch in Snow.

We got up to the heaviest snow of the winter, in fact virtually the only snow of the winter.  The garden was covered in about 3 inches of wet snow and more was falling.  The bird feeders are normally a hive of activity and the lack of other feeding opportunities meant this morning was no different.

I wouldn't say the birds queue in the Osmanthus but they generally perch there before diving in to bully somebody else off a perch.  There tends to be parts of the bush more favoured as perches.  So keeping my eye on one of them I managed to grab this shot in the few seconds it was on the perch.

I know it is yet another shot of a bird I do regularly but it has two things in its favour.  First I obviously like them and second I rather liked the shot.
