Waar zagen jullie de Distevinkjes? Ik heb ze nimmer gezien in Nederland. Maar wel ik heb er twee getekend:

Zagen jullie ze dichtbij distels en zagen jullie toevallig ook een distelvlinder?

Hi Paula, thanks for this comment!
Goldfinches are quite common in much of the Dutch countryside, and sometimes in winter also around feeders in cities.
I don’t know where this video was made exactly. I have seen goldfinches, eg, in groups in the Polders van Poelgeest nature reserve near Leiden. They fed on thistle fruits there. I have seen a painted lady butterfly there as well.

That is wonderful and hopeful. Thank you.

Goldfinches nest in the neighbourhood there. Painted lady butterfly numbers are a bit unpredictable, as they are long distance migratory butterflies.

I hope to see both bird and butterfly this summer. Wish me luck!
