Goldfinch - (Carduelis carduelis)

Goldfinch - (Carduelis carduelis) - I photographed this goldfinch, Cardellino in Italian, eating its specialty, the thistle seed, from which it takes its Latin name "Carduelis". Nikon d500, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f / 7.1, 1 / 2000sec, ISO 400. Thanks for your comments

Charming goldfinch and picture, Giangiorgio! The breakfast scene is perfectly captured! It eats with pleasure! Didn't expect tasty seeds from this plant. Beautiful frame, posture, colors, plumage details ....! Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana
