Most of you will be familiar with these guys - especially if you put out wildbird seed. The males tend to be quite bright green with a brighter yellow/green bar on the wing, the females are a bit duller, but still have the yellowy green bar on the wing. The close-up is a female, the one on the flax-planter cover is a male, and the little guy facing right is a fledgling waiting to be fed.
