Redpolls

Awkward little sods.

I've created a new page here:

http://literateherringthisway.blogspot.co.uk/p/redpolls.html

The page has photographs of redpolls seen across Orkney with tentative (and not so tentative) IDs.

The page is under development, comments are welcome. If you would like to make a contribution to the page please email me (badseawatcher at gmail.com).

Yes Alastair, I believe so. The 2nd bird has plenty of appeal for islandica/rostrata. I think 2 from 2 is pretty damn good for Redpolls!!

This is a bit of a draft post, noticed a few typos. Will get refined and improved gradually. Probably move it to its own page and with luck be able to add other folks' pix as well.

Bit of a miss earlier today when the two species posed next to each other on the feeder, was not ready with the camera and when I got it the cabaret had flown, the size difference was really striking.
