Default Goldfinch is it ok.

this little fellow's has been sat on our niger feeder on and off for the last couple of days, he'll have some seed and then hop down for some water then back up for more seed. looking a bit rough around the edges, i guess just getting his winter coat on.

Welcome to the forum arth/wen/jen (You are going to have to explain that user name someday!)

He looks a little rough, maybe unwell. But it looks like you are giving him a good selection of food which is the best you can do.

A warm welcome to the forum arth/wen/jen.........Arthur/Wendy/Jennifer?

I may be wrong but it looks a juvenile Goldfinch to me! If it is eating and drinking well then it should be ok!

Enjoy the forum!
