what bird?

[Steve]

Just seen a striking coloured bird.

Brown body, with yellow stripes down the sides, black tail with white spots, red tip to its head.

Any idea? Not seen one so colourful before.

Possibly the very rare Fabergé bird.

Its eggs are much prized.

sounds like a northern flicker bird.

The collective noun for Goldfinches is a charm, if you ever see a flock you will understand why.
