It sure does look grumpy. Perhaps because of the snow ;) Beautifully captured Graham!

Well done. A beautiful close-up of this greenfinch.

I believe the siskins are from Northern Europe because ours are pretty shy and we do not have so many here. These were not very shy. I just had to wait on our terrace to capture them. Almost twenty siskins came in at the same time. The flock consisted of approx. 40 birds. It is a great feeling to supply these hungry travelers with bird seeds. Guess most of them are in their first year.
