What's Buzzing or Flying near You Today..?? Mark 2..!!

I had a lay in this morning (7.00 ) and missed the pair of them feeding so Inhouse Adviser told me, must get up earlier!

Here's a few dodgy shots of a Treecreeper entering and leaving it's nest (b*ggers won't stay still!) and a G C Grebe on her nest, Morden decoy pond this morning.


In.


Out.

 

A Gardeners Corner Grebe! Like it

 

Have just seen the first of the martins this morning. They are so late this year.

 

Saw one Swallow about 2 weeks ago, but it didn't make a summer

 

Swallows and Martins are later this year.

Didn't take long for the pair to turn up.
More seed required!

 

Help!
Are these siskins or green finches?

 

They look like siskins to me Dave

 

Many thanks I've seen them feeding quite frequently and had thought they were Green finches until I saw a photo by Strongylodon of siskins in his garden. Our son's got all our bird ID books away with him as he's working as a residential volunteer on an RSPB reserve. I looked at photos on the internet but found it hard to determine the difference!
Thanks again.

Well I'm equally confused. I've taken photo's that I thought were green finches but now maybe were siskins.
This guy has taken a photo of both together which may help:

Same as my pic Dave (only clearer) Male on the left Female on the right. Siskins have more black and yellow colouring, the male is distinctive with it's black head. They are smaller than Greenfinches.

 

Many thanks Strongy!
