The Siskins are Back

The siskin are back, appearing at the bird feeders every day.  There's himself, who is extremely partial to the peanuts on offer, and....

....herself, a much more dainty eater, who prefers to enjoy her food from an upside down position.

They're lovely little birds, very smart at this time of year, and very devoted.  Better still, they're less timid than many of the other garden birds, with the exception of 'our' robin, allowing one to approach quite close before darting off.
