Choosing your new optics can be tricky, but when you have Osprey, Barn Owl and Red Kite @to watch when you’re testing makes it much more fun @Rutland_InFocus @ZEISSBirding @SwarovskiOptik @opticronuk @VortexOpticsUK @rutlandospreys

With their zesty green plumage and black facial markings, male Siskins are unmistakable. The females are a little more understated, but still have a thick finch bill for feeding on tough conifer seeds. by @beccaonthewing #SeeNature #Siskin #BritishWildlife #WildlifePhotography
