birds of Siberia and beyond - siskin

Eurasian Siskin (Carduelis spinus). In Poland, even in the north-eastern part of it here, where I reside, it is breeding areas . I could not meet him during breeding season, but only in the winter as a migrant bird. Not very often I see this year a large herd siskins gay, loudly calling crowns alders. The greenish coloration makes it easy to distinguish them. A few years ago, during the cold winter siskins watched over the hedge of arborvitae. Allowed to approach a few meters feeding on their seeds. Western Siberia is inhabited by wile species of birds north and is it is common here.
