Until today I got Greenfinch with Siskin. mixed up, but you will see from the next shot that there is simply no way you could. Thanks to Ronan McLaughlin for yet another wonderful photograph.

Its twittering and wheezing song, and flash of yellow and green as it flies, make this finch a truly colourful character. Nesting in a garden conifer, or feasting on black sunflower seeds, it is a popular garden visitor, able to take advantage of food in town and city gardens at a time when intensive agriculture has deprived it of many weed seeds in the countryside. Although quite sociable, they may squabble among themselves or with other birds at the bird table.

In the last few years, the greenfinch is one of the most frequent visitors of my birdfeeder, sometimes there are even more greenfinches than black tits (and those bird is about the most frequent gardenbird in Belgium).
