There's  several of these little birds in my mum's  garden in Ireland 
Can anyone identify  them 
In London. Keen but lazy.

    Siskin.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    It might be a Siskin but l'm not 100% certain.

    I prefer it when we have to guess from B's descriptions :(
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Not too common down your way @B3. Much commoner with @Fairygirl
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border

    We used to get them regularly in the garden round the corner. Only had a few visits in this one, but I see them along the lanes up near the farm, so there's still some around. Lovely wee things  :)

    Not in my garden.  In Ireland. My mum's  garden  . It's  full of all kinds we don't  see in London.

    Siskin. They seem to hang out with the goldfinches. Love shelled sunflower seeds.

    I get lots of goldfinches  down here in Erewash, but rarely see a siskin.
