Siskin, Robin

Cold, frosty and fallen snow.  At the small brook that runs under the path near the Willow triangle, a few birds were flitting around in the shadows, possibly looking for something to drink.  Suddenly a male Siskin popped up right in front of me, so I fired off a few shots at 16000 ISO, but unfortunately just missed focus on the head.  A little further round towards the hide, a Robin was perching at close range on the wall, hoping for some food to be provided, but looking like something out of a Christmas card.
