A serin!

...never heard of them nor seen one before but this is what we had in our garden!





apparently it's not often found in the UK- but fairly common over here and it's genetically the nearest finch to a canary!

I think that we had some a couple of winters ago, picking over the big pile of manure at the back of the house. Haven't seen them since though . Beautiful birds

I love it when they're feeding then as you walk past them and the whole flock goes whoosh up in the air at once - such a flash of bright yellow, really pretty birds

Saw this on my ground floor window a few weeks back. Didn't know what it was. Do now
