That's a nice shot but not a Goldfinch as I know them in England - more like
a Greenfinch?  They go for the seeds big time!
Best wishes,

My M42 to Oly 4/3 adapter arrived this morning, so, of course, I had to sit
under a shade tree and see who would pose for me.  This is my first attempt
with my Pentax Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 200mm f/4 lens on my Olympus E-510
(400mm equivalent).  There is no chip on my adapter, so focus is purely
manual and a little more difficult than I expected, using the standard
viewfinder screen.  However, for the occasional wildlife photo, it will
probably do fine.
