Greenfinch

There was a time when I had quite a few Greenfinches as regular visitors but several years of finch disease has reduced their numbers drastically.

    1. Keith. A few years ago the numbers seemed to be building up well. I always worry now when one appears as they seem to be the first to be affected.

    1. They are TWG. It's such a pity they easily catch the finch disease.

  3. Yes I have noticed a reduction in numbers as well John.

  4. We don't have many greenfinches either but the disease doesn't appear to have affected goldfinches - don't they get it?

    1. Sue. Yes. Over the past few years I have seen a couple of Goldfinches with the same disease but it seems rarer with them.
