I would thoroughly recommend it babycakes! Especially as it sounds you have some really wonderful birds on your doorstep!

This last week for the first time ever, we've had bramblings visit our feeders. If you don't know them, they're a bit like chaffinches but a bit paler.

Ah!! Thanks MrsH, I have seen them, but thought they were young chaffinches needing to colour up...

If it is seeing another chaffinch in your mirror ..... thought that was quite advanced behaviour, but budgies do it??? (something to ponder on)

I have never seen a brambling in the flesh. I am sad about that.

My OH has just confirmed for me that this is what I have been seeing in our garden today - a siskin!

I'd read your siskin mention in the Daily thread before I saw this; was curious and looked them up. Lovely little birds; they remind me a bit of our American goldfinches!
