Hi Nick,
I love those tiny birds - the males are so nice in the yellow-black plumage.
I also have them in my garden and I like them very much. Thanks, it's a very good shot

Hi Nick,

You sound like me - I see a bird in the yard once and keep waiting for it to come back. Usually does. A very nice looking bird with pretty colors. Wonderful details of the face. Hope you see him again.

Hi Nick,
This is a beautiful bird. Reminds me a lot of our American Goldfinch and a mix with Pine Siskin,; that must be the British version :)! You are lucky to have encountered this beautiful one and you captured very nice details in a nice pose. It is always fascinating to see new specie. Thanks,
Claudine

This a fairly good shot of a Siskin, Nick.
I like the tight cropping. It draws attention to the features of this pretty bird which are very well recorded in this picture.
TFS and all the best in your next effort to shoot it.

I've never seen a Siskin and you got more detail than you think, especially on his little feet, glint in the eye, etc. You are blessed to have so many colorful birds around you! This is a fine capture!

Cheers! Penny
