i took this at potteric carr. Please could you help me identify it?
Hi wildlifegirl21
It's a funny angle but I would say it's a male siskin. Finch like bill, signs of a black crown, black bib under the bill and of course greenish breast. Very nice closeup.
Hope this helps
Regards TJ

Siskin or perhaps a Serin both are yellow chested the brown/black speckles down it's side but the mask doesn't make it easier here are some links for you to see;
