Greenfinches / grønnfink are the commonest finches in the winter here . They find both natural food (seed of burdock / borre and rosa spp., both wild and planted) and bird seed I put out. A flock of about 30 was in the garden today.
Organic red-veined dandelion greens on sale in New Seasons Market in Portland, Oregon, a great supermarket chain representing a step in the right direction with a large percentage of organic and locally produced goods! One of my hosts David Findlay worked there.
Never picked fresh fungi for Xmas before. Picked these terracotta hedgehogs / rødgule piggsopp / hydnum rufescens here on Nesodden near Oslo! They were used in the xmas veggie nut roast!
