    The local Sparrowhawk visited yesterday afternoon and unfortunately took one of the Siskins.
    Gruesome photos but I suppose it is easy prey.

      Stunning bird. I expect it happened so quickly that the siskin didn't even know what hit it.

        @Escarpment I guess it didn't but at least 4 came back today and no hawk.

          There was a bird of prey lingering around here this morning, nothing on the bird feeders just gulls chasing it off, which is what drew my attention to it, it looked fairly big.
