Rearranging the dandelions (Goldfinch)

by mikeprotts

Another from the Camel Trail.
To start with the goldfinch seemed to rearrange some stalks to provide a place to stand, then opened one dandelion to pick fresh seeds, then moved to an already open dandelion for some more.
This one from the middle of the set at:

I didn't know they ate dandelion seeds. Thank you for the education.

Nice photo, I think I seen a two pair of these yesterday. The bullfinches look similar except more bulked, is this right? I'll try and photograph them.

I wish they would pull the dandelions out by the roots to save me doing it! 😎
