A female Siskin (Carduelis spinus) appeared in the garden today. Siskins have bred in Iceland on and off in the last 15 years. The population is small and fragile.

Siskins are migrants in Iceland and there are probably great losses on their long journey over rough oceans to and from their winter grounds.
