Redpoll




Though I love a day of bird/nature watching, I'm not really au fait with everything that I'm seeing, and probably miss quite a lot because I don't recognise what I'm seeing... but this week I went along with a keen bird watching friend of mine who became quite excited while we were in the Woodpecker hide when she spotted what she identified as a Redpoll. What a pretty little thing it is, and something I'm sure I haven't seen before. Looking on the RSPB website for more info, I see that it is "Red Status" which they describe as:- .... the highest conservation priority, with species needing urgent action. 


Handsome creature isn't it! Hopefully, I'll see it again.
