    Not worth mentioning!

    Default Siskins found my garden again!!

    I have missed them terribly the last year, but this year they are back and about 15-20 of them!

    What a lovely scene - and how beautifully they match the Ivy, Carin!

    I haven't seen Siskins here since springtime...

    Oh I remember when you've burrowed "mine" and refused to give them back!

    Strangly enough, the "little ones" were not there for the last couple of weeks. The Blue/Great Tits arrived first, the Chaffinchs followed and even some LTT and then the Siskins! I wish I could post a picture of my Forsythia it is vibrantly (is there such a word?) alive with birds. Very funny, when they squabble about who's turn at the feeders it is.
