Goldfinch.

It would seem our decision of yesterday to not delay travelling was a sensible one.   We woke to snow and Katkatkat even had the street opposite her flat covered.  Being low and near the sea this isn't a common occurrence for her.

I am beginning to feel the effects of a cold (caught from Clickychick who is just after 10 days - 2 weeks coming round from hers.  As a result I didn't move far from the living room.

So yet again it is a shot of a garden bird, this time a Goldfinch.  They aren't the easiest of birds to sex even in the hand but I am going to say this one is female.   I am basing that on the red cap which barely extends beyond the eye.  In males it usually (but not infallibly) extends a noticable distance beyond the eye.
