SISKIN // CARDUELIS SPINUS (11cm)
CHARMING well-marked little finch, seen only in our area a few times during the winter, when alder trees are leafless, and the seed heads are up for grabs. Seeing then up high in the trees twittering to each other, is a real joy, but a real photography challenge, as they move so fast. and their heads are always buried in the seed heads! . When the seeds are gone so are the Siskins. The males have a black head like above, and absent in females, seen in the Alder wood at Stodmarsh, Kent, U.K. Not the best image, but the best I could do, and not sure if I will see them again this year.

THANK YOU for your visit and kind comment, it does mean a lot. Have a great weekend, enjoy. happy clicking, and God bless... ...................Tomx........
