Mysterious birds lurking in the grass of St John’s Park. New Town, July 2010.
I think that these fellows are finches, but I cannot be sure. If there are any keen-eyed twitchers out there who can identify these buggers and set me straight as to whether they taste nice when battered and deep fried, I’d be most appreciative.
That said, I have yet to find a substance that does not taste better battered and deep fried. Indeed, it is the key reason that I do not own a deep fryer.

I agree...battered and fried. Mmmmm good...and why I also don't own a deep fryer. :)
European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis). Introduced. Crunchy.
They look to me like Gaudion Finches.
As for deep fried, I don't know2 that they would have enough meat on their bones.
Still, I have known some to eat Sparrow.r
they do look a lot like finches. or sparrows, which we have in the states...thick as flies. everything tastes good deep fried, even a nice crunchy beak
There is a saying that in the south (US) even water is deep fried.
Magpie, deep fryers are dangerous!
Me, that explains why none of my Australian Birds books had it there! I will snare a few for Sunday roast.
Roddy, gaudy finches? Hoiw rude!
Tom, I save the beaks for Ez.
Misfit in Paradise, deep fried water? Sounds interesting...
