Also, Serins are a rare summer overshoot species.

The odd Serin has bred on the south coast. I believe a pair did in Dawlish several years ago.

Regards, Chris | and a pair in Norfolk some years back too.
I reckon this is one of those species that will soon be colonising this country. |

Just to make sure snakeman as this thread reads a little strange now...but your birds are SISKIN not SERIN..but i think you got that by now?...
I just saw a link on the bird of the day and it appears you thought from this thread that we were saying they were SERIN.

Found this thread from a Google search of the web (UK).
These two have been appearing in my garden under the seed feeders for the last few days... 
At first I assumed Siskin but when I managed to get a photo, the top of the head does suggest Serin (males).
What do you think?
I'm in rural Suffolk so it is possible I suppose.
Sorry for photo poor quality, had to do it through a closed window...

I would say these are male Yellowhammers, Emberiza citrinella I am going by the stubby thick bill typical bunting, and the colouring on the rump of the bottom bird in the photo, typical of a Yellowhammer rump
