Male Siskin


 The colours of this male siskin are particularly striking with the neutral tones of the background and the acer with buds rather than leaves.  Siskins are small finches with a fine pointed bill.  The male has strong bright yellow in colour with a black crown and a tiny bib.  The belly is lighter in colour.  

This photo was taken through the kitchen window using my Canon R6 with the 100-500 mm RF lens zoomed to 500 mm.  I used the open aperture (f/7.1) with a shutter speed of 1/1000.  As light was reasonably good auto ISO came in at 2000.
