Something Simialr To A Wart

V. Bird feeder Siskin (Carduelis spinus)

This year I have been fortunate that Asenath one side of Lugano in the area where I have installed the trough.

February 13 for the first time I saw them and are still coming regularly to feed. Menuda

sorprersa when I first saw the ground trough!

Macho Lugano.

is a species that winters in our country from the rest of Europe.

can see practically the entire Iberian Peninsula during the fall and winter. In spring only found regularly in the Pyrenees.

Coloration reminiscent of the greenfinches and greenfinches, and like many other species of finches, the females have a somewhat more subdued plumage and barred the male.

The first time I saw surprised me their small size (like a tit), its bright yellow and showing aggression against other guests, I guess heightened by the hunger wore, because little by little have been calming and other species to re-find their place in the hierarchy of the trough. The early days to be emboldened by the woodpecker.

During the four or five sessions in which I shot I have noticed that first come to the landlord where I put the birdseed is that makes the head up that is satisfied, then gives way to the next.

While not often feed tolerate the presence of other individuals at close range (this happens to most species of feeder) so it is not easy to shoot several people at once (in the soil is somewhat easier). But dedicating time to get that final one to relax and pamper the company.
