Sunday 1.

Finally managed to take a picture of our one remaining siskin, a young male bird. He is on the left of the above photo. Two goldfinches on the right. Ann took the actual photo. We were breakfasting, and watching the birds through the window when this chap turned up. Ann was nearer the window, so I passed her the camera, she snuck up (note the americanism there, Lori) as close to the window as possible and took two or three photos of the birds. This was the best one of the siskin. A group of three turned up about three weeks ago, but only this one has been about for the last week or so.
  Confession here :- I've been trying to put this photo up for over an hour. Problems putting the photos from the camera into the computer, which got electronic hiccoughs of some sort. Solved about three different problems in a row, and eventually solved everything (I hope) by successfully (another 'I hope') doing a 'system restore' to two days ago.  Finally beginning to feel a bit more confident with this machinery. Fingers etc., crossed.  Being called upstairs - lunchtime I think. More later perhaps.
