The #Siskins have become regular visitors to the garden now. Always nice to see.

Great to see the return of #Siskins to the garden. This male was enjoying the sunflower seeds. Truly spectacular birds.

I mentioned the other day that Siskins (Gealag bhuidhe - Spinus spinus) love eating dandelion seeds.
Well, here is the proof. 😃
The first photo shows a male Siskin holding onto a dandelion stalk, while feeding on the seeds. The second photo shows a female standing on the ground while feeding. These two birds were, I believe, a pair. These two were working close to each other and weren't argumentative. There were several other pairs nearby.
