The Eurasian siskin (Spinus spinus) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. It is also called the European siskin, common siskin or just siskin. Other (archaic) names include Black-headed Goldfinch,[2] barley bird and aberdevine.[3] It is very common throughout Europe and Asia. It is found in forested areas, both coniferous and mixed woodland where it feeds on seeds of all kinds, especially of alder and conifers. ( Wikipedia)
We call them : a ``Sijsje``
Thank you - very interesting. Not sure I've seen a siskin before. On the camera screen he looked a bit yellow. I shall look up to see how common they are in southern England.
