This picture of the Siskin is typical of them hiding in the hedges . It is hard to get a picture out in the open.

Siskin ( Carduelis spinus ) Length 12cm.
This is a charming little Finch which is numerous and widespread during the winter months in Britain and Ireland. Numbers are increased by continental Birds.
In the breeding season it is common in parts of Scotland but local elsewhere in Britain and Ireland.
The Male in its breeding plumage has s striking yellow and green plumage with a black bib and forehead.
The Female and winter Male have more subdued colours but always show two yellow wingbars and a yellow rump in flight.
Breeds mainly in conifer forests but in the winter forms flocks which feed mainly on cones of alder and birch.
It often mixes with Redpolls in feeding flocks.

Hello Nick,
You got a pretty clear view of this male Siskin taken with excellent sharpness and lighting. This looks like a young adult that has just acquired his breeding plumage.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Preciso enfoque Nicholas !

Si de cerca dominas perfectamente la técnica, a esta distancia media el espectáculo es aún mayor.
Preciosas tonalidades del fondo y las ramas que sintonizan perfectamente con el ave. Marcada profundidad.

Preciosa !!!

zI've quite fallen in love with these Siskins, Nick!
Your shots make them look so beautiful!
In this one, the light is warm, and its almost quite dark, but you still manage to make this beautiful presentation!
Bravo!

Hi Nick,
yes, I were on a long journey, always having holidays ;-) Haha!
I needed a break here, I had no new words for the wonderful shots here, and also not so much time ...

Your birds are always so fantastic - the colours so warm, just beautiful.
Thank you so much, greetings

Hello Nicholas,
This pretty little bird reminds me of our male Goldfinches. The coloring is similar in some ways and it's features and posture look a lot like them also.
Love the composition and gorgeous colors in it's plumage. The blurred BG. is very pleasing and the exposure is right on the money.
