The Goldfinch is a small but brightly coloured bird that feeds on seeds and prefers taller plants such as thistles and teasels. Goldfinches usually feed in flocks that vary in size.
Goldfinches can be found in many places in the West Pennine Moors especially overgrown grassland areas with small woods nearby.
