Greenfinch?
This immature bird was one of a pair feeding close to me while the parents looked on from a distance on a telephone wire. Could it be Greenfinch?

Great shot David. BTW, I think it's a Greenfinch, not a Goldfinch?

I think you could be right it's just that we have had no Greenfinch in the garden this year at all and the Goldfinch were nearby taking a keen interest in them, also when they flew they went off together. I have looked at various books and they show the immature Goldfinch very similar to this one but not exactly the same so the more I look at it the more I think your right, what ever it is, it's very cute.
Kind Regards David
