1D2n, 600mm f4 is x1.4TC, 1/250s, f6.3, iso 400. Cloned small branch out.

I've been trying to get one of these for a while now and find them to be pretty frustrating. They seem to igore any perches, stay on the feeder for ages, then disappear. This one landed on a conifer and was cooperative for a few seconds

Ian,

You captured it very well. Great picture and a very nice compo!

IMHO - pretty flawless Ian, nice comp, tack sharp subject and a cracking BG that isolates the siskin very well - very nice work
