Re: Goldfinch
Ringed birds shouldn't be an issue in my eyes.
Goldfinches are great to look at and their call is just so nice. If fact it was quite common to keep them as cage birds at one time.Canon 5D3, 7D2, 60D, Canon 70-200L f2.8 IS II, Canon 300 f4L IS, Canon 16-35 f4 L, Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, Canon 1.4 MkIII extender, Sigma AF 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM, Sigma 150-600 Contemporary, Tamron SP AF 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC USD, Canon EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS

Re: Goldfinch
Thanks guys
I have no problems generally with tagged birds although the wing tags on a lot of the red kites particularly at Gigrin can be a bit of a problem so i do try and avoid them

Re: Goldfinch
Me too. There's a Buzzard in my street that has two wing tags. I just avoid taking pics of it. Ring tags don't bother me, but wing tags do. No idea how the bird copes with it.Fuji X-T1 | 1D IV

Re: Goldfinch
Nice one, Stan.
You'll be pleased to know that tagging of Red Kites is being phased out and may well have finished in many areas.See more at www.andyleslie.com and www.facebook.com/AndyLesliePhotography, not to mention https://www.flickr.com/photos/andylesliephotography/

Re: Goldfinch
Wing tags, like jesses on captive birds of prey are not best of things for good bird photography.Canon 5D3, 7D2, 60D, Canon 70-200L f2.8 IS II, Canon 300 f4L IS, Canon 16-35 f4 L, Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, Canon 1.4 MkIII extender, Sigma AF 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM, Sigma 150-600 Contemporary, Tamron SP AF 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC USD, Canon EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS

Re: Goldfinch
Thanks Guys
tagging of the red kites makes a lot of sense where they were being re introduced to monitor success etc so now they are much more established then perhaps that is why its being phased outYou'll be pleased to know that tagging of Red Kites is being phased out and may well have finished in many areas

Re: Goldfinch
A lovely bird well taken as always, Stan
The high ISO you used isn't apparent at all - well worth it to get the extra shutter speed.
