I filmed this at the weekend by attaching my iPhone to a sunflower heart bird feeder using an elastic band. Why didn’t I think of this before? Within a few moments, our friendly neighbourhood Goldfinch was on the feeder and busy extracting some of Haith’s bird foods finest. Isn’t it super to get this close up view of one of Britain’s most splendid looking birds? The phone picked up so many fascinating noises (including my dog barking). I’d like to claim this was my idea; however, it was my wife’s.
