I thought I'd better upload a female Siskin since my last upload was of the male, I don't want to be labelled as sexist now do I? :wink:

You've certainly got some attractive species in your yard. Another fine portrait. :cool:

Thanks Justin.
I've been feeding the birds almost every day now for 5 years or so and have built up a native population here.
Last count I've seen 32 bird species on or around the feeding station and 14 different types of butterfly, plus a few squirrels, a rat and a mouse :smile:

One of the best BOAS images I've seen on here. Excellent. Well worth all that preparation work. :smile:
