Finally had a Siskin in my garden today, a lone female for about 30 seconds, still it's my first for this winter/spring! For the second year running I had no Blackcaps which is very disappointing.

I was siskenless too, until a pair popped in for a few minutes early today. The first in two years feeding in this garden!.

Send some over here to Tod. Stephen. Not so far as the siskin (crow) flies.
I love 'em to bits but never seen one on our feeders. There's hope though I see.

My highest garden count ever was 27+ yesterday. At the moment they're the commonest birds in the garden, but sometimes the goldfinches outnumber them. It looks amazing when so many birds are here- it's only a tiny garden with one tree, but the sunflower hearts bring them all in.

Our last 2 siskin were in the garden yesterday morning but not seen since. The blackcap left Sunday night. They must have decided they'd better get back to work, instead of loafing around and eating!

A flock of 30-40 showed up here a couple of weeks ago and haven't left the two sunflower heart feeders since then! And this morning, they discovered the window feeder in front of my desk, so I've been getting some great close-up views as well! This is the first time I've seen them in this garden.

Hi Everyone,

Still loads of Siskins around the Harrogate area, still coming to the feeders at RHS Harlow Carr and loving the Njyer seeds.

Also of interest a Siskin caught at Gibraltar Point at the end of March was originally ringed in Belgium. Images on my site

Cheers ANDY

I've got about 6/7..not the commonest visitor to the garden but certainly the most regular. They've been at the feeders every day without fail, and are never far away, up until the last week or so, but I spotted one of the females with a beakfull of moss from the hanging basket, so probably busy with 'other things' and hopefully they will nest near by.

There are lost of Siskins in my garden, the record is 25 at once.

 

[Big Phil]

Grrrrrrrrrr!. I'm up to three now, returning migrants I guess, or maybe everyone else in the 'deen has stopped feeding them.....

I had 24 siskins visit my garden in Washington co Durham in January nearly every day. From end January till 9th of April between 12 to 15 every day never had Siskins in the garden previous to this year. But I ain't complaining. Hope to see many more. Happy siskin watching. Hen Harrier.
