Siskin (Carduelis spinus)



Seeing as though this is a very common bird and especially in Scotland I'm wondering why this is the first one I have ever seen. It must have known how happy I was to have seen something new in my garden as he and his female companion were not in the least spooked when I approached with the camera. Shame the Bramblings aren't as obliging. What a great coloured little finch, easily distinguished from the Greenfinch, please come back again and enjoy the peanuts.
