Siskin.

[Dale.]

Seems like a while since I've been in this forum whilst I've been getting back to landscapes.

So, out to the hide today as it looked very busy from the kitchen, got me a nice male siskin.

7D, Sigma 150-600C, 400/sec, f7.1, ISO 1250.

Thanks both.

We had a few last year, of and on, they are regulars at the moment though, at least 10 or so.

That's a beauty Dale

I see loads of Siskins around the local conifer plantations, a great little bird, but they're always stuck at the top of a tall tree! :banghead:

Thanks Phil. I love these birds, a real privelege to be less than 8 feet from them.
