Siskins!

What a treat this morning to come down stairs, sleepily throw the tea bag in the mug, lift my weary head to look out the window to see a pair of Siskins on the Nyger seed!

what an amazingly pretty bird! They stayed for ages before flying off towards the lower end of the wood.

  1. Well done on the Siskins Matt, we had a few visit briefly last Winter before I had a decent camera, needless to say none at all this year! They really are very pretty little birds as you say.
