Goldfinch. Dadzītis. Carduelis carduelis. Stieglitz. Steglits. Ohakalind. Щегол.

• One of the most beautiful bird species (in my eyes), which are found in Latvia. Not a rare one, but it plays hard to get. The problem with this one – it is a swarm bird, so it can’t be interested with its voice. Maybe it works, but not it my case. I have seen them at bird tables, but wouldn’t say that it’s casual.
• Starting tip: none, more luck, not special preparation. Voices don’t work (or work rarely), masking may be needed, but again, found in swarms, so can act careless by your approach.
