European Goldfinch - Carduelis carduelis

This is the reason for the hebrew name this bird, this is the favorite food of this bird, thistle seeds, the picture was taken in the morning light, but it was not pure sun light because of the spreaded clouds.
The bird is very small, frantic and very fearful, so I needed to do a crop from the original frame, I hope you will like it.

Eqp. EOS 20D, Canon 100-400L IS, Kenko x1.4 TC

1/160, f11.0, ISO 400, 640mm

All my birds' pictures were taken in nature.

nice shot of this little one , who can be really frantic and skittisch ; wonder if a vertical, including more of the perch would also work? still, fine shot!
btw, in dutch this one is called "distelvink" , meaning "thistle-finch" ;

A killer shot of this species. What is the Hebrew name of the European Goldfinch?

:) :) :) You mentioned something about the Hebrew name, but you didn't say what it was.
