The seed spreader
I have a new visitor to my garden, the Eurasion siskin, but getting good shots of this bird is not easy. This bird is very brave, flying straight to my feeder and sitting there until it is full. It took a lot of patience waiting for one to sit on a branch. I haven´t caught the female on a branch yet, so watch this space and I will post one as soon as I get it. They are also very messy eaters, they are too lazy to peel the seeds themselves so sit and fling out al the unpeeled seeds, looking for ones that are slightly broken. The result, I will have a lot of sunflowers growing under my bird feeder soon lol.
