American Goldfinch? No! A Scarlet Tanager.

After the excitement of yesterday's blip, which brought out strong feelings, and comments in several of you, I thought I had better go with a cute little non-confrontational bird today; I am calling it a Goldfinch, but I am not sure and I am certain there are those among you who can help me out with this one. I didn't have a chance to look at many blips or comment yesterday as the PC I work on was busy transmitting the World Equestrian Games to family and friends, so I shall catch up today and see what you have all been up to!

Thanks to Arnside and beyond for identifying the above bird as a Scarlet Tanager; not a native of Florida he comes here for the winter and is moulting, hence the change of colour from scarlet to olive.
