Near Huétor Tajar, Granada Province, Spain.

After the snow the Siskins came back.

The start of the snow shower.
During the morning we had quite a lot of rain which turned to snow later and gave us a good but tempary covering.

During the snow and after it had cleared the wintering flock of Siskins (Lúgano / Carduelis spinus) soon came back into the feeders in the garden, a total odd 32 birds between the two trays of seed.
