The Netherlands summer 2017: Finches 1

Had to dig deep in the memory bank to name them. There are so many in the Netherlands!
Start with my favorite: the Goldfinch (Putter)

  

  

Holland 2016 - 7 Goldfinches (Carduelis carduelis, Putter)

July, a little too early for apples. The fruit trees were full and some apples had fallen, but they were not edible yet. The Goldfinches stayed around, giving them a try every now and then.

I remember their nick name Distel vink and hoped for one to perch on a thistle, but these don't seem to be the right kind. I had to do with the butterflies.
