G'Day, I spotted this bloke yesterday and managed to get a reasonable shot, but I can't establish what he is. Help!

Hi John
Welcome to the group. I am familiar with Yarra as a road sign south from Goulburn. I live in Robertson and drive to Canberra regularly.
Your bird is a European Goldfinch. They have a yellow stripe in the wing when they fly.
Check out the bird books, up the back end, which is where most introduced species are usually placed.http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/finder/display.cfm?id=124
Your photo is very nice. Denis
