saw this very unusual bird the other day. it was small, with light green
markings and a light yellow beak.(i think).

any idea?


Assuming you are in the UK, a Siskin was my first idea, but it's that yellow
beak, are you sure?

So how small are we talking about...Wren sized? Was it light green or
yellowish plumage?

Take a look at www.garden-birds.co.uk/ and see if you can find it.
Let us know if you do.
