A snatched shot through glass from our bedroom window, first impression that this was a Meadow Pipit which would be a first for me, but on closer looking I think more likely a Juvenile Siskin.
Trouble with photographing into branches and shrubs the AF snaps on to the nearest to the lens more often than not a twig or branch. I shoot in AF+MF and keep one finger on the MF ring but so many times I get to the right focus point just as the bird flies off and I lose the shot.

I think it's a siskin too. We've had a really cold day yesterday, and wake up to a smattering of snow on the roofs this morning.

A lovely capture. Amazing how they fly off just as you are about to take the shot. I swear they are telepathic
