Neither serin nor grey wagtail. Nor is it anything rae or unusual, although it was the first time I have seen one in my garden, that is more a reflection of not putting food out for birds until this winter.

Siskin maybe?

Yes indeed. Here he is with his girlfriend shortly beforehand. They were sat together on a branch, billing away like a couple of lovebirds. It must be springtime. :D

Nice pic of the pair, there Harvestman.

I think this is one of the best new threads in ages. Much credit to BB07 for the idea. Let's keep this going if we can.

I have more, but I'll let ohers have a go.

Ditto. Could do with a few more participants but I hear there's a couple of threads about biscuits and a slightly different type of shirt going on elsewhere.

I agree. I learn loads from this. Like what sources to use to identify an unknown plant. Thanks for starting it BB07.

Guys, checking this thread, no picture has yet defeated the collective audience (well, on page 1 there was a norway maple that no-one got, but I knew it but the poster revealed it before I got to it), so come on, don't let my water plant beat you

Here it is again, taken only a few days ago, a common UK and european plant that likes to grow in and around water. Only it isn't in flower yet

Alright then what's this......I haven't enlarged it as it would become blurred but if you do want to magnify it ...Right click, show image then press the CTRL button & the plus (+) sign together..........( CTRL & 0 brings it back to normal )
The original picture was taken by my daughter on her phone.
