Nice shot Greg. They are lovely little birds. We get them occasionally in our garden but not as often as the goldfinch. I counted 20 of those visiting at the same time the other day.

As far as I know these are not on mainland Australia.
This is a really nice shot and I had no idea these were here.
I think we are heading to Tassie early next year and this will be another one to look out for.
I have got a list which I am making a study on so I sort of know where to look.

I understand they are introduced and appear all year round in Tasmania. Often in the mix with sparrows and at times difficult to tell apart. Give me a yell if you need a few tips on NW Tas bird haunts.

Thanks for that and I appreciate that and I will let you know closer to the time if that is okay as I know we are going for 10 days our start point is Devenport.
