The Siskin is a small British finch, measuring 11-12.5 cm in length. It features a yellow-green plumage with a dark streaked belly, yellow wing bars, and a forked tail with yellow sides. Males have a distinctive black cap and bib, along with bright yellow cheeks. Females are duller, lacking the black crown and bib, with more streaked underparts. Both sexes have a long, narrow bill and are known for their agility. Siskins are common visitors to gardens, particularly attracted to seed feeders, and are recognized by their vibrant yellow and black markings.
