Balancing Act

This goldfinch was balancing on the buddleia in my front garden. In between storms, and the wind was coming up again, so he was swaying up and down, up and down. He stayed there for ages, so maybe he was enjoying his bouncy rest.
I didn't crop into a close-up because I had liked watching him boinging up and down. If I had cropped it then this wouldn't be what I had recorded!

Bracing for another downward dip.... whhoooooaahhhh....

Looks like the storm's coming in....

Time to go and find some shelter....


Isn't he beautiful?

    It was amazing to watch! And yesterday I saw my first peacock butterfly in years- on the same bush, from the same window!

    How lovely! I adore goldfinches and the way they bob about.
