This bird was in Mablethorpe today.
Is it an escaped Canary?

Looks a little olive coloured, but probably a Siskin.

Thanks Russell. I thought that at first but was confused by the grey neck markings. Also the bird is so tame you can almost pick it up. It's been in the same place for 3 days now and is causing a lot of public interest over the Bank Holidays.

I used to breed canaries, it's a canary as far as I can see. Canaries come in all kinds of colours, some even have crests. Yep, a canary.

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
