After looking at the balcony birds this morning, we went through the snow to the cemetery.
This video is called The Eurasian Siskin (Carduelis spinus).
In a tree to the left of the entrance, about five siskins.
The bird in the upper right branch was not a siskin, but a hawfinch.
Great spotted woodpecker, nuthatch and blackbird sounds.
Six jays in a tree a bit further.
As we walk back, in the big tree near the exit, eight hawfinches and a siskin. And a magpie in a branch two meter under them.

Looks like a cute little finch. Couldn’t figure out what was going on and assumed it was the wind. And lo and behold, it was. Little bird likes his suet…….

Siskins are usually in groups; and often in treetops.
