    1. They are lovely little birds, Deborah but don't visit often - at least not when we are looking out of the window.

    1. I am, Mal with my camera set on burst you should see how many I have before wheedling them down.

    1. They are lovely little birds, Lisa. Both out visitors were males. The last time that I noticed them we had two pairs.

    1. They are, Anna - they remind me of canaries.

  6. Hopefully I'll get my usual Siskin seasonal visitors soon.
    The Goldfinches seem to have had a winter boycott but today a few have been at the sunflower hearts and nyjer seed, and one of the posh pairs of Bullfinches have turned up to.

    1. We seem to have a resident flock or goldfinches, David - they hog the sunflower hearts. I've not spotted any bullfinches for a while though.

  8. I have so many of them right now. Their chirps fill the air. It sounds of spring.

  9. Brilliant Sue! I'm remembering they are an infrequent visitor so this would have been a delight to see :-) great images too!

    1. It was, Shirley. I think we are a stopping point on a journey to elsewhere. We maybe have a very short visit once a year but I think sometimes we miss seeing them.
