Spotted by
A small, energetic finch with striking yellow and black plumage, often found in conifer forests. Males have a distinctive black cap and bib.
Where to spot
Widespread across Europe and Asia, preferring coniferous and mixed woodlands; often visits garden feeders in winter.
How to spot
Look for them high in conifers or visiting feeders. Pay attention to their distinctive 'twee-oo' or 'sis-kin' calls and undulating flight. Males are easily identified by their black cap and bib.
When to spot
Year-round resident, but winter flocks are more easily observed, especially at feeders where they can congregate in large numbers.

Eurasian Siskins are adept at extracting seeds from conifer cones using their slender bills, and they also readily visit garden feeders, sometimes hanging upside down to reach seeds.
