goldfinch nest in the plum tree. My husband wanted to prune the plum tree, but having spotted a goldfinch nearby several times he was cautious in case the bird was nesting and there were still chicks in the nest. This evening he concocted an 'angled mirror on a stick' device to check inside the nest - and sure enough there are three eggs waiting to hatch. They're beautiful birds and it's so exciting we've even got names picked for when they hatch:
George, Alexander and Louis.
