Because of the light they tended to show as silhouettes which made it tricky to identify them. So down I went with my binoculars and camera. Considering that it was early afternoon the light was terrible hence the rather grainy photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5882.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-attachment-id=\"4637\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/female-siskins\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5882.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2047,1364\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.7&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Paul Marfell&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 7D Mark II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1577973933&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;All rights reserved&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;600&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0028571428571429&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Female Siskins&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Female Siskins\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Femaile Siskins&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5882-1024x682.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5882-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4637\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5882.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/female-siskins\/\" class=\"wp-image-4637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5882-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5882-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5882-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5882-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5882.jpg 2047w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Femaile Siskins<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5900.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"4638\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/male-siskin\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5900.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1365\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.7&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Paul Marfell&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 7D Mark II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1577974087&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;All rights reserved&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;600&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Male Siskin&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Male Siskin\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Male Siskin&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5900-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5900-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4638\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5900.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/male-siskin\/\" class=\"wp-image-4638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5900-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5900-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5900-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5900-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/7D2_5900.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Male Siskin<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With binoculars the birds were identified as Siskins.
