                        Siskins this morning, they are not as frequent as the Goldfinches or Chaffinches but at least they are around.:smile:

                                Apologies for the poor picture, it was nice to see the goldfinch feeding from the sunflower heads I left for them, with the bees enjoying them through the summer and the birds enjoying them through there hard winter and also me and the grandkids enjoying them it makes it all worth while :).
