Siskin

Hi all,

Feels like a long time since I have added anything, just haven't had the weather or time really.

To make up for it I hope you like these few shots I took in my garden today.

The 1st two shots are of a Siskin (we have 2 which visit regularly and I am hoping for more) last photo is a goldfinch.

Photos taken with a Nikon D70 + Sigma 170-500mm lense

I am hoping to get back to posting more now and commenting on all your blogs, I have been visiting just havent had chance to comment.

Mike.

    All 3 are fabulous shots. I like the 2nd one most. Details, colors, composition, bokeh...everything is so perfect...Thomas

    I love the view of the wing in that first one! Your birds all seem to "sparkle" in these shots! Very nice! We all get too busy sometimes but we're glad to have you back posting your beautiful photos whenever you can.
