Siskins

Took a stroll through the snowy quarry yesterday. Saw a small group of bullfinches and, for a couple of minutes before they flew off in twos and threes, a tree full of fieldfares. There was also a small group of siskins and sure enough three visited my feeders today. They are obviously novices at the feeder lark because one male took a good few fluttering attempts at landing before giving up and giving himself a good embarrassed grooming.
