| | | Another ID please
Hi all
I have just had a siskin identified on this site - thank you very much
This morning, the siskin brought a friend along, I am not sure what it is, can anyone help with an id please? 
The feeder with sunflower hearts in is attracting lots of new birds to the garden  as well as the squirrels 
I have bought diamond feeders and the squirrels have not wrecked them so I am pleased all round
Regards
Lockzie |

the bird on the right hand side is a juvenile greenfinch, 1 of last years young, which has not come into its adult colour yet. They can be very awkward, until you see them in good light. |
