Goldfinch if memory serves - will just go check...

Yeah! My memory works - that membership of the Young Ornithologists Club wasn't completely wasted:

Juvie - probably hit your windows. You can get bird silhouettes to stick on them to prevent it happening - I did after a baby Robin did a similar thing a couple of years ago

Looks like a juvenile, no red around the eyes. (About the only bird I can identify)

Thanks for that chaps, didn't know we had those around so I'll keep an eye out for them and sort out some appropriate feeders. I think it flew into the conservatory windows, so I'l look into the silhouettes.

Cheers

Get some Nijer seed, This will attract the Goldfinch and where there are goldfinch you will also get Siskins and Redpolls with them
