REDPOLL

never heard of this bird before so i was delighted to learn of its existence.

thank you for sharing on GoY.

Cute :o)

My apologies, Marybells. This bird is actually a Redpoll. There were both of these species in the trees together. They are both small finches which move around in hunting flocks in the winter, often around Birch & Alder. They are similar in size but Siskins are noticeably greenish-yellow, especially the male.
