Nice capture Stan, well done. I see from your Flickr stream that you also got a Goldfinch on what looks to be the same perch

Cheers guys

there are few decent perches with enough distance in front ot the trees etc to give a clear background and this is the main one. The great and blue tits are also on the same one

Re: Siskin Male

Re: Siskin Male

thanks Bill, Alan, Tom and Steve

only ever seen one that I know of

they come in droves to Blashford every year and also quite common over at Warnham East Sussex as well

what do you think of the Sigma 150-600 ?

had mine for coming up to a year now and cant fault it. The only slight downside is the minimum focus distance so I haven't used it too much in the summer when I am looking for butterflies dragonflies as well as birds -I then go back to my 300 f4 and 1.4x, which covers all those things and with the less weight, I can also carry my macro lens as well
