Hi guys
This just landed on my sunflower seed mixture. It seems a much duller greeny brown colour than my regular siskins.
Is it a juvy or female siskin?
Sorry about the poor pics, but it wouldn't turn around, and it's a very dull day here.
Best wishes Chris

Hi Woodpecker, I Just had a look in my book, and it does look very much like a female Siskin.
There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.

Hi Woodpecker. I'm afraid the photo is not showing. This seems to be an ongoing problem.

Hi TJ
Sorry about that. It's an ongoing problem for me too.
Hi Woodpecker, I'd love to see your bird but alas the photo isn't showing for me either. Never mind, I'll check again later. By the way, I had your namesake in the garden today. A beautiful male GSW feeding on the fat-filled coconut halves. A lovely start to my day! :-))
There is something new to learn everyday...

Thanks Chris. The photo has now reappeared. Don't apologise, it looks a pretty good photo to me especially as it seems as though the weather is pretty foul judging by all the raindrops. I haven't seen a siskin yet this winter so I'm envious.
I'm having trouble with photos disappearing from the gallery as well.
PS just after posting this your photo vanished again. What on earth is going on?

Hi TJ & Sarum Bat
I can't even see my own photo now as it has disappeared from my post as well. Bizarre!
What I usually do is to try loading from IE rather than Firfox, to see if that works

Hi Sarum Bat
I have to get up very early to see mine, but alas I missed him today.
Well done you for spotting him.

Hi Chris
Lovely picture of the Female Sisken, Chris
Great to see a Sisken that likes to eat upright rather than hang upside down (as they do if the feeder has no perches)
Know what you mean about the downloaded pictures.
If you press edit, and post again the 'downloaded' picture will come back (or that is my own theory)
Regards
Kathy and Dave
